  • Chromium Phosphide: Historical Name & Systematic Nomenclature
    The older name for Cr3P2 is Chromium Phosphide.

    While this name is still technically correct, it doesn't specify the exact stoichiometry (ratio of elements) of the compound. Therefore, it is more accurate to use the systematic name Trichromium Diphosphide which clearly indicates the presence of three chromium atoms and two phosphorus atoms.
