Answer:

Y(OH)₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ions:

Y³⁺ OH⁻

To find a neutral compound that conforms with the formation of the given ions;

We us the exchange of valency approach to solve this problem. The valency will form the combining power of the ions for the combination.

Y³⁺ OH⁻

Combining power 3 1

Exchange of valency 1 3

Now the compound is Y(OH)₃
