Solution

The correct option is D
M₂(SO₄)₃

From formula of metal nitride, MN, we find that charge of M is +3 as the charge of nitrogen is -3 and both balance each other to form the formulae MN. Since, we know that charge of sulphate is -2.

Symbol M $S O_{4}$

Valency 3+ 2-

Criss crossing the valencies, we get $M_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}$

Therefore formula of metal sulphate is $M_{2} (S O_{4})_{3}$ .
