Ca has a charge of +2 and PO4 has a charge of -3. In order to cancel out the charges, you bond 3 Ca ionswith 2 PO4 ions and get Ca3(PO4)2

true
How many valence electrons are transferred to make calcium iodide?
It takes only one valence electron to form the calcium iodide compound.
Is chalk an element?
If you mean the sedimentary white rock, then that is Calcium Carbonate which has the elements Calcium, Carbon and Oxygen. If you mean blackboard chalk, then that is Calcium Sulphate which has the elements Calcium, Sulphur and Oxygen.
What reactions occurs when calcium phosphate and sulfuric acid make calcuim sulfate and phosphoric acid?
The reaction between calcium phosphate and sulfuric acid, producing calcium sulfate and phosphoric acid is a double replacement. Notice in the chemical equation that the calcium and hydrogen ions switch partners with the SO42- and PO43- ions. The generic formula for a double replacement is AB + CD --> AD + CB Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 --> 3CaSO4 + 2H3PO4
How calcium and phosphate can make a compound with electroneutrality?
By combining three calcium cations with charges of +2 each with two phosphate anions with charges of -3 each to give a formula unit Ca3(PO4)2.
Explain how calcium and phosphate can make a compound with electroneutrality?
Ca has a charge of +2 and PO4 has a charge of -3. In order to cancel out the charges, you bond 3 Ca ionswith 2 PO4 ions and get Ca3(PO4)2
If ions of calcium and phosphate were to join together to make a solid ionic compound what is the formula of the compound that would result?
Ca3(PO4)2
What organ of your bodies does calcium phosphate make stronger?
Bones and teeth

Is the calcium carbonate in an eggshell a compound?
Yes, calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound. The chicken that laid the egg took the calcium carbonate from her bones and the feed she was eating to make the eggshell.
Is calcium used to being toghether with a different element to make a compound?
Calcium is quite reactive
What elements make up the compound CaF2?
Calcium and fluorine
What compound does Ca and F make?

Sugar phosphate and a nitrogen base compound make up the DNA molecule?
true
Why is phosphate group in parenthese?
You would place a phosphate group in parentheses if more than one group is needed to make the compound. For example, magnesium phosphate has the formula Mg3(PO4)2.
