Name the following compound using the informal naming system CsPOlittle4?

I'm pretty sure it would be Cs3PO4 because of the PO4(3-) anion.





And it would be Cesium Phosphate.








And for the future, you really don't have to put "POlittle4". We'll understand what you mean if you just put "PO4".

Name the following compound using the informal naming system CsPOlittle4?
sure there's not a 3 after Cs?





I'd go with Cesium Phosphate
Reply:The compound is cesium phosphate, however, since Cesium has a +1 valence, and PO(little 4) has a -3 valence charge, I believe the compound is Cs(little 3)PO(little 4)


Hope this helps!
