Solution

The formula of carbonate of a metal M is M₂CO₃.
Valency of carbonate is 2
As here two metals are present,
So, the valency of metal, M is 1.

(a) Valency of iodide is 1.
So, the formula for iodide of metal M will be MI.

(b) Valency of nitrogen is 3.
So, the formula for nitride of metal M will be M₃N.

(c) Valency of phosphate is 3.
So, the formula for the phosphate of metal M will be M₃PO₄.
