Chapter 3, Problem 52A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The formula for the simplest compound formed by ${\text{Fe}}^{\text{3+}}\text{and}{\text{P}}^{\text{3-}}$ ion pair needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction :

Substance is made up of the similar or different types of the atoms. A substance which is made entirely from single type of atoms is called element. Compound is a substance in which two or more than two different elements are chemically bounded together.

Answer to Problem 52A

The compound is $\text{FeP}$ .

Explanation of Solution

In $\text{FeP}$ , Fe carries $3+$ charge and P carries $3-$ charge. By the combination of an ion of Fe and one ion of P, a compound is formed where their charges are balanced. A neutral compound formed as $\text{FeP}$ .
