The salts of disulfurous acid are called disulfites or metabisulfites.

[2] In contrast to disulfate (S2O2−7), disulfite has two directly connected sulfur atoms.

The oxidation state of the sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms is +5 and its valence is 6, while that of the other sulfur is +3 and 4 respectively.
