What electric charge do the phosphate groups in DNA have?
A negative charge, as do all phosphate groups.
What is the electrical charge of phosphate?
its PO4^2-
What is the chemical formula and charge of the Hydrogen Phosphate ion?
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
What is the name of the formula NaH2PO4?
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.
What is the charge of sodium phosphate?
Base! so Negative!
What electric charge do the phosphate groups in DNA have?
A negative charge, as do all phosphate groups.
What is the name of compound (NH4)PO4?
The name of compound (NH4)PO4 is Ammonium Phosphate .NH4 and PO4 are both polyatomic ionsNH4(ammonium) has a positive 1 charge, and is the cationPO4(phosphate) has a negative three charge, and is the anionIn order to balance the ionic compound, you need an over all charge of zero(or neutral charge). You have a negative three charge on phosphate so you need a positive three charge of ammonium. Therefore, you have 3 NH4 and 1 PO4Source(s):
What is the name of VPO4?
KPO4 does not exist. PO4 has a 3- charge, and K has a 1+ charge. So, you need to have K3PO4 to have potassium phosphate.
What is the formula for lead2 phosphate?
The formula for lead (II) phosphate is Pb3(PO4)2, because phosphate anions have a charge of minus three and lead (II) cations have a charge of plus two.
What is the chemical formula for nickel iii and phosphate?
the formula is Ni3(PO4)2 :) The correct answer is Ni PO4, the answer shown is for Nickel II phosphate.
What is the electrical charge of phosphate?
its PO4^2-
Does phosphate contributes negative charge?
sure why not
Is po43- a polyatomic anion or cation?
Phosphate (PO43-) is a polyatomic anion. The way to tell this is to look at the charge - an anion has a negative charge and a cation has a positive charge.
What is the chemical formula and charge of the Hydrogen Phosphate ion?
There are two possibillities:Monohydrogen Phosphate ion: HPO42-Dihydrogen Phosphate ion: H2PO4-
Did the phosphate bonds have negative charge or positive charge?
Yes phospate bonds have a negative charge.
What is the name of the formula NaH2PO4?
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.
What is the is charge of phospate in K2SO4?
Potassium sulfate is not a phosphate.
