PO4-3 is an ion, and therefore does not have molecules. In a formula unit, there are 5 atoms consisting of one phosphorus and four oxygen atoms. This can always be found from a proper formula by summing all the subscripts immediately following atomic symbols, multiplied if appropriate for any particular element by the subscript immediately following a right parenthesis between which and a left parenthesis an element symbol appears. For example, the formula unit Fe3(PO4)2 contains 3 iron atoms, 2 phosphorus atoms and 8 oxygen atoms, because the phosphorus and oxygen symbols are between parentheses followed by a subscript and the iron symbol is not.
