Solomon Pugh · Answer 1

K ^+, CO3 ^2-

Explanation:

The compound is potassium trioxocarbonate (IV).

It contains cation (potassium ion) and acid radical (trioxocarbonate (IV) ion).

Since K is in group 1 of the periodic table, it loses one electron to form ion i. e K^1. trioxocarbonate IV ion has a charge of 2-. and so the ions of the compound are as shown in the answer above.
