Respuesta :

Answer:

The third one: [tex]CuSO_4[/tex]

Explanation:

Again you are going to want to look at a periodic table so you can determine the symbol of each atom.

The symbol for copper is Cu, the symbol for sulfur is S and the symbol for Oxygen.

There is 1 atom of copper in the compound

So we have Cu

There is 1 atom of sulfur in the compound

So we would have CuS

There are 4 atoms of oxygen in the compound

So we would have [tex]CuSO_4[/tex]

Note that the little number at the bottom left after each symbol indicates how many atoms of that element are in that compound.
