  2. Phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate

    In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H 3 PO 4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO 4] 3− is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H +.

  3. Phosphoric acids and phosphates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Phosphoric_acids_and_phosphates

    The general formula of a phosphoric acid is H n−2x+2 P n O 3n−x+1, where n is the number of phosphorus atoms and x is the number of fundamental cycles in the molecule's structure; that is, the minimum number of bonds that would have to be broken to eliminate all cycles.

  4. Phosphorus mononitride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_mononitride

    The existence of free, gas-phase phosphorus mononitride was confirmed spectroscopically in 1934 by Nobel laureate, Gerhard Herzberg, and coworkers. [8] J. Curry, L. Herzberg, and G. Herzberg made the accidental discovery after observing new bands in the UV region from 2375 to 2992 Å [9] following an electric discharge within an air-filled tube that had been earlier exposed to phosphorus.

  5. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    These solids are polymeric, featuring P-O-M linkages. When the metal cation has a charge of 2+ or 3+, the salts are generally insoluble, hence they exist as common minerals. Many phosphate salts are derived from hydrogen phosphate (HPO 4 2−). PCl 5 and PF 5 are common compounds. PF 5 is a colourless gas and the molecules have trigonal ...

  6. Phosphoric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acid

    Phosphoric acids produced from phosphate rock or thermal processes often requires purification. A common purification methods is liquid-liquid extraction, which involves the separation of phosphoric acids from water and other impurities using organic solvents, such as tributyl phosphate (TBP), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), or n-octanol ...

  7. Monohydrogen phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monohydrogen_phosphate

    Hydrogen phosphate or monohydrogen phosphate (systematic name) is the inorganic ion with the formula [HPO 4] 2-. Its formula can also be written as [PO 3 (OH)] 2-. Together with dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogenphosphate occurs widely in natural systems. Their salts are used in fertilizers and in cooking. [1]

  8. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    A chemical formula used for a series of compounds that differ from each other by a constant unit is called a general formula. It generates a homologous series of chemical formulae. For example, alcohols may be represented by the formula C n H 2n + 1 OH (n ≥ 1), giving the homologs methanol, ethanol, propanol for 1 ≤ n ≤ 3.

  9. Organophosphorus chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organophosphorus_chemistry

    With the formula (HO) 2 P(O)CH 2 NHCH 2 CO 2 H, this derivative of glycine is one of the most widely used herbicides. Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs to treat osteoporosis. The nerve gas agent sarin, containing both C–P and F–P bonds, is a phosphonate. Phosphinates feature two P–C bonds, with the general formula R 2 P(=O)(OR').
