Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionConsider the Lewis structure for the polyatomic oxyanion shown here, where X is an element from the third period 1Na - Ar2. By changing the overall charge, n, from 1- to 2- to 3- we get three different polyatomic ions. For each of these ions (b) determine the formal charge of the central atom, X;
