  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}, \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\), total number of electrons \(=32\) In \(\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\), total number of electrons \(=32\) In \(\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}\), total number of electrons \(=42\) So, the option (a) is correct.
