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.
