a. doesnt exist b. not an ion c. sulfite d. hydrogen sulfite e. sulfate f. hydrogen sulfate g. sulfide h. suzy q

Explanation:

1. $S^{-2}$ is sulfide ion.
2. $S^{-1}$ is not a common stable ion.
3. $SO_{3}^{-2}$ is sulfite ion.
4. $SO_{4}^{-2}$ is sulfate ion.
5. $SO_{4}^{-1}$ doesn't exist as a stable ion.
6. $HSO_{3}^{-1}$ is hydrogen sulfite ion.
7. $H_{2}SO_{4}$ is not an ion, it is sulfuric acid.
8. $H_{2}SO_{3}$ is not an ion, it is sulfurous acid.
9. $HSO_{3}^{-2}$ doesn't exist.
