Thiosulfate (S₂O₃) Explained: Chemical Formula, Properties & Uses
S₂O₃ is the chemical formula for thiosulfate. It's an anion with a charge of -2, often found in salts like sodium thiosulfate (Na₂S₂O₃), which is commonly used in photography.
Here's a breakdown:
* S: Sulfur
* O: Oxygen
* 2: Two sulfur atoms
* 3: Three oxygen atoms
