The anion formed during dissociation of the salt $N a_{2} S O_{4}$ has a charge of ___.
-2

Open in App

Solution

The correct option is A -2
Sodium sulphate $(N a_{2} S O_{4})$ , a salt, is an ionic compound. Being an ionic compound, on dissociation, it produces a negatively charged anion and a positively charged cation. In the case of $N a_{2} S O_{4}$ , sodium $(N a +)$ is the cation and sulphate $(S O_{4}^{2} -)$ is the anion. Hence, the charge of anion in this case is -2.
