MCQ
The phosphate of a metal has the formula $MP{O_4}$. The formula of its nitrate will be
  • A
    $MN{O_3}$
  • B
    ${M_2}{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}$
  • C
    $M{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}$
  • $M{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$M{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_3}$
(d) In $MP{O_4}$ the oxidation state of $M$ is $+3.$ Hence, the formula of nitrate is $M{(\,N{O_3})_3}.$
