  • Cu(H₂PO₄)₂: Understanding the Chemical Formula for Copper(II) Dihydrogen Phosphate
    The chemical formula for Copper II dihydrogen phosphate is Cu(H₂PO₄)₂. Here's how to break it down:

    * Copper II: This tells us the copper ion has a +2 charge (Cu²⁺).

    * Dihydrogen phosphate: This is the polyatomic ion H₂PO₄⁻, with a -1 charge.

    * Balancing the charges: We need two dihydrogen phosphate ions (2 x -1 = -2) to balance the +2 charge of the copper ion.

    Therefore, the final formula is Cu(H₂PO₄)₂.
