∙ 11y ago+4. if O is -2 then 8 Os = 8 x -2 = -16 so for the compound to be neutral overall the total 'charge' of the P must be +16 which, as there are 4 of them, means each P has an oxidation state of +4

∙ 9y agoThe oxidation number for phosphorus is +3: four covalent bonds with oxygen atoms yield +4 and the central charge yields -1. The oxidation numbers of oxygen and hydrogen are -2 and +1 respectively. The oxidation number of the overall ion is -1.

∙ 12y agoA phosphate ion has the formula PO4-3. In the ions of an oxyacid, such as this ion, oxygen is always assigned an oxidation number of -2. The four oxygen atoms in a phosphate ion therefore have a total electric charge of -8, and the phosphorus atom must have an oxidation number of +5 to result in a net charge of -3 for the whole ion.

How many particles are in the nucleus of Phosphorus?
The door number of phosphorous is 15. If 16 neutrons are accompanying then the mass number would become 31. Thus 15P31 is the most quiet isotope of phosphorous. But if one neutron is less the phosphorous-30 and if neutron is more then phosphorous-32. These two isotopes are radioactive. Hence these are named as radio isotopes. P-32 is used as tracer in agriculture. Also used in curing skin disease in medical field.
Does phosphorus have access to a d orbital?
Yes, phosphorous (and sulfur) have access to a d orbital. It's a bit weird (as is most chemistry), in the ground state phosphorous does not have any d orbital electrons, however, d orbital hybridization is used to explain why phosphorous can form more than the "octet" number of bonds, such as PCl5. This d orbital is also used when describing phosphorous as a pi-acceptor ligand, and the reason it can be considered a pi-acceptor ligand is because it does have access to that d orbital, which can accept the metal's e- density. Hope that helped.
What is the name of the compound PI5?
Phosphorous Pentaiodide
Most of the phosphorous on earth comes from?
rocks
What does iron Oxide mean?
I'm pretty sure that it is rust; because rust is the product of oxidization on metals.
What is the oxidation number for each element in HPO32?
There are 3 elements. This is meta phosphoric acid.
What elements create phosphite?
Phosphite ion consists of Phosphorus and Oxygen as PO33- and hydrogen phosphites (HPO32-) and dihydrogen-phosphites (H2PO3-) consist of phosphorus, oxygen and Hydrogen. Phosphite salts are generally prepared from Phosphorous Acid (H3PO3)
What is the formula for the three phosphate groups?
PO43- HPO32- H2PO2-
How are Phosphorous 32 and Phosphorous 33 different other than half-life?
The number 32 and 33 refer to the mass number. 32 and 33 are different isotopes of phosphorous and that means that they have different numbers of neutrons.
What is the atomic number of phosphorous?
Phosphorus is non metal element. Atomic number of it is 15.
How does oxidization effect shelf life of tint?
Oxidization reduces the shelf of tint. This is why it is important to prevent exposure to air and water, elements which propagate oxidization.
What is the symbol for phosphite polyatomic atom?
Phosphite is a name that has been applied to both PO32- (recent trend) and HPO32- (historically). Note that the HPO32- is now recommended to be called hydrogen phosphite anion or sometimes the phophonate anion. HPO32-is different from hydrogen carbonate HCO3- where the H is bonded to O, as it contains a H-P bond and that H does not react with base.
What is HPO32?
It's an inorganic compound that is produced when ATP, energy is released.
An inorganic compound containing one atom of phosphorous and three atoms of oxygen in the form of the ion?
There are none. The phosphite ion PO33- ion is theoretical. When you try to form compounds containing it you actually get HPO32- where the H atom is bonded directly to phosphorus. Historically these compounds are confusingly called phosphites, and the modern name is phosphonate.
How many protons and neutrons are in phosphorous-32?
Well phosphorous always has 15 protons and even in different isotopes of an element the proton (atomic) number will be the same..So even in phosphorous-32, there are 15 protons.. If it is phosphorous-32 then the total of the protons and the neutrons is 32.. 15 protons...So to get the number of neutrons do 32 minus 15 = 7 neutrons.. Just to note, the number of electrons is of course the same as the number of protons so it is 15
