Problem 1PE
Determining the Formula of an Oxyanion from Its Name
Based on the formula for the sulfate ion, predict the formula for (a) the selenate ion and (b) the selenite ion. (Sulfur and selenium are both in group 6A and form analogous oxyanions.)
Which of the following oxyanions is incorrectly named? (a) CIO2-, chlorate; (b) IO4-, periodate; (c) SO32-, sulphite; (d) IO3-, iodate; (e) SeO42-, selenate.
