Let formula is Xx Yy Zz. O.N. of X, Y and Z are +3, +5 and -2 respectively. 3x + 5y - 2 z = 0. The values of x, y, and z satisfying this equation are 3, 3 and 12. Therefore correct formula is X3(YZ4)3.

Q. A compound contains atoms X, Y and Z. The oxidation number of X is +3, Y is +5 and Z is -2. The possible formula of the compound is

$X Y Z_{2}$

$Y_{2} (X Z_{3}) 2$

$X_{3} (Y Z_{4})_{3}$

$X_{3} (Y_{4} Z)_{2}$

Let formula is $X_{x} Y_{y} Z_{z}$ . O.N. of X, Y and Z are +3, +5 and -2 respectively. 3x + 5y - 2 z = 0. The values of x, y, and z satisfying this equation are 3, 3 and 12. Therefore correct formula is $X_{3} (Y Z_{4})_{3}$ .
