Ngaba iSulfate kunye neSulfite zahluke njani?

I-"-ate" isetyenziselwa ityuwa yesimo esiphezulu se-oxidation ye-element kunye ne-"ite" yetyuwa yesimo se-oxidation esilandelayo. I-sulfate inefomula ethi S04-2 kwaye "i-sulfite" inefomula engu-S03-2, kunye ne-sulfure ene-oxidation state ye-+6 kwi-sulfate kunye ne-+4 kwi-sulfite.
I-Sulfite yi-S(-2), i-Sulfite yi-SO3 (-1), ngelixa i-Sulphate i-SO4 (-2). Kwelinye icala, i-sulphide kunye nesulfite zezeqela le-asidi edityanisiweyo ngelixa i-sulphate liqela elikhethekileyo le-radical. Ngokudibanisa i-H2S04 ehlanjululweyo, i-Sulphide ikhupha igesi ye-H2S kwaye i-Sulfite ikhupha igesi ye-S02 ngelixa i-Sulphate inokuphinda isebenze kancinci.
Iisulfates ziityuwa zeminerali ezinesulfure. Ngelixa iiSulfites ziikhemikhali ezahlukeneyo ezinesulfure.
