X2SO3 Enter the group number of X. How do I find this? Chemistry
Na2SO3 and H2SO3 are the possible compounds hence X belongs to group number 1.
Answer: The group number of X is Group 1.
Explanation:
Groups are defined as the vertical columns in a periodic table.
We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of \(X_2SO_3\)
This is formed by the combination of X atoms and \(SO_3^{2-}\) ions.
By criss-cross method, 2 atoms of X combine with 1 atom of sulfite ions.
Thus, the oxidation state of X atom is +1.
The elements belonging to Group 1 shows an oxidation state of +1.
Hence, the group number of X is Group 1.
