Ca2 + p3- have a lowest common multiple of 6(2X3 = 6). Therefore, the formula would require three Ca2+ ions and tow p3- ions to form the neutral compound Ca3P2. If one carefully examines the magnitude of the ion charges, those values indicate the number of atoms of the opposite ion needed.
The formula produces a neutral (zero charge) compound and the least common multiple is used. the answer is Ca3P2

What is the formula for ionic compound for Al and P?
The compound is aluminium phosphide and the chemical formula is AlP.
What is the formula for ionic compound formed between Rb and P?
Rb3P.
What is the name for the ionic compound Ag 3 P?
This formula is for silver phosphide.
What is the Chemical formula for calcium and phosphorus?
There is no "formula" for "calcium and phosphorus". The symbol for calcium is Ca; the symbol for phosphorus is P. You'd have to specify an actual compound in order to get a formula.
What is the formula for the ionic compound that forms between and atom P with 2 valence electrons and atom Q with 5 valence electrons?
P belongs to 2nd A group and Q belongs to 5th A group of periodic table so possible formula is P3Q2.

Is Be(CrO4) ionic or covalent?
Be3P2 Is an ionic compound made up of the group II metal beryllium, a cation is this compound and the nonmetal phosphorus, an anion is this compound. Be 2+ and P 3- combine ionicly to form Be3P2
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Is p404 covalent or ionic?
P4O4 is not a chemical compound. P4O10 is a covalent compound. P and O always form covalent bonds.

Formula of phosphite?
Hi, The formla for Calcium phosphite (anhydrous) is CaH(PO3) It is more normally found as the monohydrate which has the formula Ca(HPO3).H2O It can be prepared by reacting phosphorous acid, H3PO3 and Calcium Oxide, CaO as follows; CaO + H3PO3 ---> CaHPO3 + H2O Hope this helps, Mike
