Question

Write the steps involved in writing the chemical formula of chemical phosphate

Answer 1

Answer:

the chemical formula is PO43_

Answer 2

Answer:

A phosphate ion is a polyatomic ion with valency of -3 represented as PO4 3-.

First learn the valency of the acid radical that gives it's electron to the phosphate ion.

For example Zn is a acid radical and the valency is +2. So the chemical formula with the combination of PO4 is Zn3(PO4)2.

With ammonium ion it is (NH4)3PO4.
