If the formula for a compound is represented by X3Y2 and the charge on the Y ion is -3, what is the charge in the X ion?


a.+1

b.+2

c.+3

d.+4

Verified Answer :

I cannot fully remember but the charge of a compound always has to be the same.  However, I believe that the sign of the Y2 means that it is positive 2. 

so in my opinion it is in between b and c. use your best judgment.
