Group 1 sulfates
« on: May 04, 2006, 04:03:14 AM »
Why can group 1 elements form both M2SO3 and M2SO4 while group to elements can form only MSO4 where M is a metal?

This question - as posted - doesn't make sense. Please elaborate. (If "to" is a typo and you meant "two" - assumption that there are no compounds like CaSO3 is faulty, they exist).

All sulfites for G-II also exist e.g. BaSO3.'
