<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
<u>8:4 and 4:8</u> both have CCP structure............................... ᐛ
Since nonmetals have five, six, or seven electrons in their valence shells, it takes less energy to gain the necessary electrons, and therefore form anions.
A circuit with many paths for the current to travel through and not simply one is classified as a parallel circuit. Here the circuit can have many loops of resistors or light bulbs that can be attached.
