-3 the whole formula for phosphite would look like: PO3^-3
negative 3
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
Polyatomic ion
Phosphate is an ion with the formula PO43-. The 3- indicates the charge on the ion. This ion consists of the pnonmetals phosphorus and oxygen. The negative ion must be paired with a positive ion to form an actual substance. That ion is usually a metal ion. So phosphate itself is not a metal but many phosphate compounds contain metals.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
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.

the formula is Ni3(PO4)2 :) The correct answer is Ni PO4, the answer shown is for Nickel II phosphate.
In even moderately strong acid conditions in aqueous solution, a polyatomic phosphate ion with a charge of -3 will add an hydrogen ion with a charge of +1 to form a polyatomic acid phosphate anion with a charge of -2. In equation form, PO4-3 + H+1 -> HPO4-2.
For example the ion phosphate - (PO4)3-.
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.
The correct formula for phosphate ion is PO4^3. Phosphate carries a negative charge and is the conjugate base of hydrogen.
The ions that are present in the solution of sodium phosphate is the sodium ions and the phosphate ions. The sodium ion has +3 charge while the phosphate ion has the -3 charge.
The charge of the lead ion in the compound lead phosphate, Pb3(PO4)2, is 2+.
