Phosphorus will form the phosphide (P3-) ion.
The ion of phosphorous (P) is P^3- and is referred to as phosphide.
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.
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
Everything in Group 5 except bismuth e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, and occasionally antimony
P3- This is the phosphide ion, but it is not stable in water, only with 3H in PH3 (comparable with ammonia NH3) or with some metal ions (eg. Li3P, Ca3P2, AlP) it is found as pure substance. There are also other form with negatively charged phosphorous in it.
Also phosphorous is the ion (PO3)3-.
The phosphide ion, meaning phosphorous by itself not bound up in a poly-atomic ion, has a charge of -3 in ionic compounds.

The charge of an ion depends on the number of electrons gained or lost. Since the charge of an ion is not mentioned in this case, it is typically neutral as an atom, having an equal number of protons and electrons.
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.
Lithium and phosphorous will go through ionic bonding. Lithium is an alkali earth metal, meaning it will lose 2 valence electrons to form 2+ ions. Phosphorous will likely gain 3 electrons to achieve an octet electronic configuration in its outer most shell. However, lithium and phosphorous do not straight away form Li3P2. Phosphorous usually reacts with oxygen in the air to form phosphate (PO4-).
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
Phosphate is H3PO4 and phosphite is H3PO3. Phosphoric acid, when neutralized with a base, such as ammonium or potassium, forms a salt (Phosphate). Phosphorous acid also forms a salt when neutralized with a base (Phosphite). Thus, Phosphite has one less oxygen molecule than Phosphate.
