What electric charge do the phosphate groups in DNA have?
A negative charge, as do all phosphate groups.
What is the electrical charge of phosphate?
its PO4^2-
What is the chemical formula and charge of the Hydrogen Phosphate ion?
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
What is the name of the formula NaH2PO4?
Those are chemical formulas. NH4 is the ammonium polyatomic ion, and PO4 is the phosphate polyatomic ion. Ammonium has a +1 charge and phosphate has a -3 charge.
What is the charge of sodium phosphate?
Base! so Negative!
What electric charge do the phosphate groups in DNA have?
A negative charge, as do all phosphate groups.
What is the name of compound (NH4)PO4?
The name of compound (NH4)PO4 is Ammonium Phosphate .NH4 and PO4 are both polyatomic ionsNH4(ammonium) has a positive 1 charge, and is the cationPO4(phosphate) has a negative three charge, and is the anionIn order to balance the ionic compound, you need an over all charge of zero(or neutral charge). You have a negative three charge on phosphate so you need a positive three charge of ammonium. Therefore, you have 3 NH4 and 1 PO4Source(s):
What is the name of VPO4?
KPO4 does not exist. PO4 has a 3- charge, and K has a 1+ charge. So, you need to have K3PO4 to have potassium phosphate.
What is the formula for lead2 phosphate?
The formula for lead (II) phosphate is Pb3(PO4)2, because phosphate anions have a charge of minus three and lead (II) cations have a charge of plus two.
Is po43- a polyatomic anion or cation?
Phosphate (PO43-) is a polyatomic anion. The way to tell this is to look at the charge - an anion has a negative charge and a cation has a positive charge.
What is the electrical charge of phosphate?
its PO4^2-
What is the chemical formula and charge of the Hydrogen Phosphate ion?
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
What is the chemical formula for nickel iii and phosphate?
The chemical formula for nickel(III) phosphate is NiPO4.
Did the phosphate bonds have negative charge or positive charge?
Yes phospate bonds have a negative charge.
What is the name of the formula NaH2PO4?
Those are chemical formulas. NH4 is the ammonium polyatomic ion, and PO4 is the phosphate polyatomic ion. Ammonium has a +1 charge and phosphate has a -3 charge.
What is the is charge of phospate in K2SO4?
Potassium sulfate is not a phosphate.
What is the charge of sodium phosphate?
Base! so Negative!
