Answer :
Answer:
The compound with the correct formula is;
A. MNO₃
Explanation:
The number of oxidation states in the metal, M = One oxidation state
The formula of the compound formed by the metal, M = MHCO₃
We note that the ion HCO₃⁻, known as hydrogen carbonate has an oxidation number of -1
Similarly nitrate, NO₃⁻ has an oxidation number of -1, therefore, the metal M can form similar compound formed with HCO₃⁻ with nitrate, and we have;
The possible compounds formed by the metal 'M' includes MHCO₃ and MNO₃.
