The formula for the sulfate ion, SO 4 2– . If the term of 'thio' means the replacement of an oxygen by a sulfur, what is the formula for the thiosulfate ion?

In this practice question, it says, the formula for the sulfate ion is s o 42 minus. If the term of thiol means a replacement of an oxygen by sulfur, what is the formula for the thiosulfate ion? Alright. So they're telling us they're telling us that by placing the word thio in front of sulfate, one of these oxygens will be replaced by sulfur. So we're gonna have 2 sulfurs now. We've lost 1 oxygen because it's been replaced by sulfur, so we have 3 oxygens left. They never mention anything about the charge changing, so it's safe to assume the charge stays the same. So thiosulfate ion represent is represented as s 2 032- and remember, it's all based on first remembering what is the structure of the sulfate ion, one of the common tetraoxide.
