2 answers
The formula is X2O3 for the oxide. Since oxygen has a valence of -2, then X must have a valence of +3. Cl has a valence of -1; therefore, the formula for the chloride will be XCl3.
basically the atom in x of nektonic substance must mean x is equal to the 9th o f your overall answer so your answer is 69
