What is the charge of the ion that phosphorus would form?

The phosphide ion, meaning phosphorous by itself not bound up in a poly-atomic ion, has a charge of -3 in ionic compounds.


How many electrons does the ion phosphorous have?

18 electrons


What is the name for the phosphorus ion?

The ion of phosphorous (P) is P^3- and is referred to as phosphide.

-3


How many electrons are present in phosphorous Ion?

78 electrons


What is the formula of the ion formed when phosphorous achieves a noble-gas electron configuration?

P3-


Charge of P as an ion?

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.


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.


What type of chemical bond is Li and P?

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-).


What ions will the following elements form from phosphorus strontium oxygen gallium lythium?

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.


Difference between a Phosphorous atom and a phosphide 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.
