Yes: calcium cations and phosphate anions.
Ca3(PO4)2 + 3Na2(CO3) --> 3CaCO3 + 2Na3PO4 (Phosphate ions have a 3- charge and carbonate ions have a 2- charge)
There are three copper II ions (Cu2+) and two phosphate ions (PO43-).
Dicalcium phosphate refers to Calcium Hydrogen-phosphate = CaHPO4
equivalent weight of calcium phosphate
calcium phosphate
Calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2.
Calcium
Calcium hydrogen phosphate :) Ca2HPO4
The chemical formula for calcium phosphate is:Ca3(PO4)2Ca has a charge 2+ and PO4 has a charge 3-, so you need 3 Ca and 2 PO4 to even out the positive and negative charges.
Precipitation of the salt calcium phosphate among fibers of the protein type I collagen. This results from raising the concentrations of calcium ions and phosphate ions beyond their "solubility product" concentration. This occurs next to special cells called osteocytes, and not inside their cytoplasm. Nobody has discovered the mechanism by which osteocytes pump high concentrations of calcium ions and also high concentrations of phosphate ions into the same locations. One theory is that a special protein ("osteoid") binds to both calcium ions and phosphate ions, so that they precipitate at concentrations that would not be high enough to cause precipitation if no osteoid were present. If you know how osteocytes cause bone synthesis, then you should publish this information in a refereed journal, such as Nature. akharris@bio.unc.edu

The formula unit for the most common form of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2. Therefore each formula unit, the ionically bonded counterpart of a mole for covalently bonded compounds, contains three calcium ions. The number of calcium ions in 8.0 "moles" of calcium phosphate is 3 [exact] X 8.0 X Avogadro's Number or 1.45 X 1025 atoms, where the depressed last digit of 1.45 indicates that this digit may not be significant. (The significant-digits-limiting datum is 8.0 moles.)
Calcium Phosphate itself is basically a general term for a group of different compounds. But many of its forms appear to be a translucent white salt.
There are three copper II ions (Cu2+) and two phosphate ions (PO43-).
Strangely enough - it's called Calcium Phosphate.Calcium ions are +2 charge (Ca2+) because it is a group 2 metal, and readily loses 2 electrons.The phosphate ion has a 3+ charge (it's PO43+)And so the formula must be Ca3(PO4)2This is sometimes known as 'tricalcium phosphate', but that's really more detail than you need from a name!
Calcium phosphate is a salt, an inorganic compound.
