Answer (1)

X is a Group 1 metal, such as Sodium (Na). The compound is written as X₂CO₃. This is the general formula for a carbonate. The most common carbonate is Na₂CO₃ (sodium carbonate) or K₂CO₃ (potassium carbonate).Since CO₃ has a charge of -2, X must be a metal with a +1 charge to balance (2X⁺ → total +2).Possible answers:Sodium (Na)Potassium (K)Lithium (Li)
