Answer» Correct Answer - C The example of polyatomic anions mainly include oxoaonins obtained from the molecules of oxoacids such as carbonic acid `(H_2CO_3)`, sulphuric acid `(H_2SO_4)`, and phosphoric acid `(H_3PO_4)`. They are carbonate ion `(CO_3^(2-))`, nitrate ion `(NO_3^(-))`, sulphate ion `(SO_4^(2-))`, and phosphate ion `(PO_4^(2-))`, respectively. |
