-3 the whole formula for phosphite would look like: PO3^-3
negative 3
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
Polyatomic ion
Phosphate is an ion with the formula PO43-. The 3- indicates the charge on the ion. This ion consists of the pnonmetals phosphorus and oxygen. The negative ion must be paired with a positive ion to form an actual substance. That ion is usually a metal ion. So phosphate itself is not a metal but many phosphate compounds contain metals.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
Those are chemical formulas. NH4 is the ammonium polyatomic ion, and PO4 is the phosphate polyatomic ion. Ammonium has a +1 charge and phosphate has a -3 charge.

the formula is Ni3(PO4)2 :) The correct answer is Ni PO4, the answer shown is for Nickel II phosphate.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
For example the ion phosphate - (PO4)3-.
The correct formula for phosphate ion is PO4^3. Phosphate carries a negative charge and is the conjugate base of hydrogen.
Those are chemical formulas. NH4 is the ammonium polyatomic ion, and PO4 is the phosphate polyatomic ion. Ammonium has a +1 charge and phosphate has a -3 charge.
The ions that are present in the solution of sodium phosphate is the sodium ions and the phosphate ions. The sodium ion has +3 charge while the phosphate ion has the -3 charge.
The charge of the lead ion in the compound lead phosphate, Pb3(PO4)2, is 2+.
