  • AlHSO33: Why This Compound Doesn't Exist & Its Correct Form
    The compound with the formula AlHSO33 is not a valid chemical compound. Here's why:

    * Aluminum (Al) forms a +3 charge when it becomes an ion.

    * Hydrogen Sulfite (HSO3) forms a -1 charge when it becomes an ion.

    To balance the charges, we need 3 hydrogen sulfite ions for every aluminum ion. The correct formula for the compound is Al(HSO3)3.

    This compound is called Aluminum bisulfite.
