The number of nonmetallic atoms in Al₂(SO₃)₃ is A)5 B)7 C)12 D)14

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given formula is a way of representing a chemical compound using subscript and superscript formatting for indicating the number of atoms of each element. Breaking it down: Al (Aluminum, a metal) = 1 atom, S (Sulfur, a nonmetal) = 1 + 1 + 13 = 15 atoms. Therefore, the total number of nonmetallic atoms (Sulfur in this case) is 15, not matching any of the provided options directly. However, based on the options given, the closest correct interpretation of the question seems to be a mistake in the transcription of the formula or in the understanding of the question itself. Given the options, none directly match the calculation based on the provided formula, suggesting a possible error in the question or in interpreting the formula's representation.
