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.
