What compound is NiPO4?

Answer 1

NiPO4 is Nickel (III) Phospate. The PO4 is a polyatomic particle which is called phosphate and has a charge of 3- and in this example Ni has a charge of 1+, so the charges are switched giving Ni a 3+ charge with stays positive and is written in the middle of the two names.

[edit] Not quite... the nomenclature Nickel (III) indicates the Nickel has a charge of 3+. Nickel will either have a charge of 2+ or 3+, it can not have a charge of 1+, so I don't know what the original answerer was saying with switching charges bumping up the ionization of the Nickel. Basically,

Ni3+ + PO43- -> NiPO4

OR if you are dealing with Nickel (II)

Ni2+ + PO43- -> Ni3(PO4)2 which is also Nickel Phosphate

Any way, I just wanted to correct the original post, but the answer to the original question is Nickel Phosphate, or as the original poster stated Nickel (III) Phosphate.

Answer 2

Nickel(II) phosphate, with the chemical formula Ni3(PO4)2, is a compound formed between nickel cations (Ni2+) and phosphate anions (PO43-).

Answer 3

nickel (II) pemanganate
