MCQ
Formula of a metallic oxide is $MO.$ The formula of its phosphate will be
  • A
    ${M_2}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$
  • B
    $M\left( {P{O_4}} \right)$
  • C
    ${M_2}P{O_4}$
  • ${M_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${M_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$
(d) Valency of metal is $+ 2$ by formula $MO$ so its phosphate would be ${M_3}{(P{O_4})_2}$ because valency of $[P{O_4}]$ is $-3$.
