FeP. Iron(III) means that the iron has an oxidation state of 3, and could be considered to be Fe3+. Phosphides generally contain P3- and this is true for the group1 and group 2 metals There is one iron phosphide Fe3P used as a semiconductor, so it is not ionic! You cannot use oxidation number nomenclature on that compound you have to go the "triiron monophosphide" route instead.

I do not think there is actually a compound with the formula FeP.

Naming phosphides using the oxidation state nomenclature is risky, phosphorus forms many different "ions" and also forms binary compounds where the phosphorus is "interstitial" .

What is Fe3P2?

Iron PhosphideFe - Iron P - Phosphorus3 and 2 refer to how many atoms there are to make the compound neutral.Phosphorus has a charge of -3 and Iron has a charge of +2.*Note: Iron can have two charges, +3 and +2.Iron with a positive charge of +3 is called Iron (III) or Fe (III)Iron with a positive charge of +2 is called Iron (II) or Fe (II)In this case it has a charge of +2. Also remember that Fe (III) and Fe (II) is represented by Roman Numerals NOT numbers.~Hope that answered your question.
