combination of each of the X ions and SO4
2-
?
b) If the name of the element X is exy, what would be the names of each of the
compounds from part of this problem?

Bot
a) X+ and SO4 2- would form XSO4, X2+ and SO4 2- would form X2SO4, and X5+ and SO4 2- would form X5SO4.
b) The names of the compounds would be Exy sulfate, Exy2 sulfate, and Exy5 sulfate.
b) The names of the compounds would be Exy sulfate, Exy2 sulfate, and Exy5 sulfate.
