    Chloride of metal is \[MC{{l}_{2}}\]. The formula of its phosphate will be                                               [CPMT 1979]

    A)                 \[{{M}_{2}}P{{O}_{4}}\]               

    B)                 \[{{M}_{3}}{{\left( P{{O}_{4}} \right)}_{2}}\]

    C)                 \[{{M}_{2}}{{\left( P{{O}_{4}} \right)}_{3}}\]       

    D)                 \[MP{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Since the chloride of a metal is \[MC{{l}_{2}}\] therefore metal ?M? must be divalent i.e. \[{{M}^{2+}}\]. As a result the formula of its phosphate is \[{{M}_{3}}{{(P{{O}_{4}})}_{2}}\].
