Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that the problem asks for the chemical formula of the polyatomic ion called chlorate.
Recall that polyatomic ions are ions composed of more than one atom, and their names often indicate the number of oxygen atoms attached to a central atom.
Know the common chlorine-oxygen polyatomic ions: chlorite (ClO2-), chlorate (ClO3-), and perchlorate (ClO4-).
Identify that chlorate specifically corresponds to the ion with three oxygen atoms bonded to chlorine, carrying a negative charge.
Conclude that the correct formula for chlorate is \(\mathrm{ClO_3^-}\).
