Interpretation:
Interpret the definition of oxyanions along with the naming of oxyanions when there are more than two element in the series.
Interpret the prefix used to write in the naming of oxyanions in the fewest and most oxygen atoms.
Concept Introduction:
Oxyanions are the species which contains the oxygen and other atom. There are series of atom which has different number of oxygen atom in the given species.
Examples: Oxyanions of chlorine are ClO3 -, ClO2 - Etc.
In oxyanions as the oxidation number of central atom increases the acidity increases.
ClO3 - is more acidic than ClO2 -. The naming of oxyanions are done with using the different prefixes when the number of oxygen atom is different.
