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.
