Question

What is the correct ionic compound name for $ B{e_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2} $ ?

Answer 1

Hint: An ionic compound is a chemical complex made up of ions kept together by electrostatic forces known as ionic bonding in chemistry. Overall, the molecule is neutral, although it contains both positively and negatively charged ions known as cations and anions. Ionic compounds are usually rigid and brittle, with high melting and boiling temperatures. They are virtually always electrically insulating as solids, but when melted or dissolved, the ions are mobilised, and they become extremely conductive.

Complete answer:
Beryllium is a chemical element with atomic number 4 and the symbol Be. It's a steel-gray alkaline earth metal that's strong, light, and brittle. It is a divalent element that only occurs in nature in the form of minerals when combined with other elements. Beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl are two gemstones rich in beryllium. It's a very uncommon element in the cosmos, generally resulting from the spallation of bigger atomic nuclei colliding with cosmic rays. A phosphate is a phosphoric acid-derived anion, salt, functional group, or ester in chemistry. It usually refers to orthophosphate, which is a derivative of orthophosphoric acid ( $ {H_3}P{O_4} $ ).
The compound's name is beryllium phosphate.
This substance is made up of ions. It is made up of the ions $ B{e^{2 + }} $ and $ P{O_4}^{3 - } $ .
The name of an ionic compound is made up of the names of the cation and the anion.
Metals in Groups 1 and 2 contain cations with the same name as the metal.
Because Be is in Group 2, the beryllium cation is $ B{e^{2 + }} $ .
The phosphate anion is $ P{O_4}^{3 - } $ .
 $ B{e_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2} $ stands for beryllium phosphate.

Note:
Ionic compounds are solids that are difficult to break due to the strong attraction between the positive and negative ions. When pressure is applied to them, they usually shatter into fragments, making them fragile. The presence of electrostatic forces of attraction between ions necessitates the use of a significant amount of energy to break the ionic bonds between the atoms. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points as a result of this. Ionic chemicals are usually soluble in polar solvents such as water, but non-polar solvents such as petrol, gasoline, and other hydrocarbons have a lower solubility.
