Answer to Problem 68A

Parentheses are used when a polyatomic ion is present more than once.

Explanation of Solution

An ionic compound may be formed by polyatomic ions. To maintain electrical neutrality sometimes more than one of the same polyatomic ions could be needed. At that time these polyatomic ions are written in parenthesis with the number of that ion as the subscript.
