SO32- to represent #SO_3^(2-)#

Explanation:

And the conjugate acid of bisulfite, #HSO_3^-#, is sulfurous acid, #H_2SO_3#, which we could also represent as aquated sulfur dioxide, i.e. #O_2S*H_2O#.........

And when amide ion, #NH_2^(-)#, acts as base, it ACCEPTS a proton to give ammonia, #NH_3#.

And when amide ion acts as an acid it gives the imide ion, #NH^(2-)#, and when this species acts as an acid it gives the nitride ion, #N^(3-)#. Of course the conjugate BASES of ammonia are UNKNOWN in water, but are known in liquid ammonia.
