  • Sn₃(PO₄)₂ Chemical Formula: Understanding Tin(II) Phosphate
    Here's how to determine the chemical formula for tin(II) phosphate:

    * Tin(II) indicates the tin ion has a +2 charge (Sn²⁺).

    * Phosphate is the polyatomic ion PO₄³⁻.

    To balance the charges, we need three tin(II) ions (3 x +2 = +6) and two phosphate ions (2 x -3 = -6).

    Therefore, the chemical formula for tin(II) phosphate is Sn₃(PO₄)₂.
