To determine:
The formula of the ionic compound that forms by the phosphate ion and sodium cation.
Concept introduction:
A chemical formula represents the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule of a compound.
Ionic compounds are made up of ions that are bonded by electrostatic forces of attraction. In ionic compounds, cations are defined as the positively charged ions, whereas anions are the negatively charged ions.

- 30) How is polarity of a bond determined? a) by guessing b) by its placement on the periodic table c) by molecular shape d) by color e) by the difference in electronegativity between two elements in a bondarrow_forwardChoose 1 element under Group 2, 4 & 6 and draw their Lewis structure. And predict how many electrons are needed by each element to become stable. Write your answer using the following table: Group Element Lewis structure Number of electrons needed to be stablearrow_forwardBased on the Lewis structures for hydrogen and helium, explain why buoyant balloons are filled with helium instead of hydrogen gas, even though hydrogen gas is cheaper and more buoyant. HHe:: a. Helium's duet makes it stable and inert (unreactive). b. Helium's duet makes it unstable and chemically reactive. c. Helium has one more electron than hydrogen, which helps add color to the balloon.arrow_forward
