(a)
Interpretation:
To write the formula of an oxoanion of element N that cannot act as a reducing agent.
Concept introduction:
Oxoanions are polyatomic ions involving one or more oxygen atoms and another non-metal atom. A compound cannot act as a reducing agent if the compound with an element in its highest oxidation state.
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the formula of an oxoanion of element S that cannot act as a reducing agent.
Concept introduction:
Oxoanions are polyatomic ions involving one or more oxygen atoms and another non-metal atom. A compound cannot act as a reducing agent if the compound with an element in its highest oxidation state.
(c)
Interpretation:
To write the formula of an oxoanion of element Cl that cannot act as a reducing agent.
Concept introduction:
Oxoanions are polyatomic ions involving one or more oxygen atoms and another non-metal atom. A compound cannot act as a reducing agent if the compound with an element in its highest oxidation state.
