Look at the formulas for sulfate and sulfite, nitrate and nitrite, or phosphate and phosphite, What differences do you see?
Select one:
a. An ion ending in -ite has one less oxygen than its counterpart ion ending -ate,
O b. The charges are different between an ion ending in -ate and its paired counterpart ending in -ite.
O c. There is no difference between an ion ending in -ate and its paired counterpart ending in -ite.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
