The chemical formula for barium phosphate is Ba3(PO4)2. Within the formula, the symbol Ba represents barium, P represents phosphorus and O represents oxygen. The numbers in the chemical formula Ba3(PO4)2 indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound. read more

So, to even out the charges, we need to get three barium ions and two phosphate ions. Now, the total positive charge (from the barium ions) is 6+, and the total negative charge (from the phosphate ions) is 6-. We see that **Ba3(PO4)2** is the chemical formula for barium phosphate. read more
