    The phosphate of a metal has the formula\[MP{{O}_{4}}\]. The formula of its nitrate will be                        [CPMT 1971; MP PMT 1996]

    A)                 \[MN{{O}_{3}}\]              

    B)                 \[{{M}_{2}}{{\left( N{{O}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}\]

    C)                 \[M{{\left( N{{O}_{3}} \right)}_{2}}\]     

    D)                 \[M{{\left( N{{O}_{3}} \right)}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    In \[MP{{O}_{4}}\] the oxidation state of M is +3. Hence, the formula of nitrate is \[M{{(\,N{{O}_{3}})}_{3}}.\]
