To solve the question step by step, we will identify the metal and its oxide based on the information provided. ### Step 1: Identify the Metal from the Oxide Formula The question states that the metal M occurs as its oxide `M_(2)O_(3)`. This means that for every 2 atoms of metal M, there are 3 atoms of oxygen in the oxide. ### Step 2: Determine the Metal The oxide `M_(2)O_(3)` is characteristic of Aluminium. In the periodic table, Aluminium has the symbol 'Al'. Therefore, we can conclude that the metal M is Aluminium. ...
