Question

2 which of the following lists all the elements that are present in a molecule of calcium phosphate, ca₃(po₄)₂? calcium phosphorus oxygen carbon polonium clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the formula

The formula for calcium phosphate is \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \). Let's break down the elements present.

Step2: Identify elements from the formula

• From \( \text{Ca}_3 \), we have Calcium (Ca).
• From \( (\text{PO}_4)_2 \), we have Phosphorus (P) and Oxygen (O).
• Carbon (C) and Polonium (Po) are not present in the formula \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \).

Answer:

The elements present in a molecule of calcium phosphate \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) are Calcium, Phosphorus, and Oxygen. So we check the boxes for Calcium, Phosphorus, and Oxygen.
