B(PO4)

boron (B) has a +3 charge while phosphate (PO4) has a -3 charge.

the point of nomenclature is to make the compound equal to zero (to make it as stable as possible).

because +3 and -3 cancel out, you don't need to have another subscript like in

aluminum nitrate.

aluminum-> Al+3

nitrate-> NO3-1

Al(NO3)3
