Valency of P is 5, and valency of O is 2, in phosphate 4 o atom are there so total valency O2 is 4*2=8 and net valency of phosphate will be 8-5=3 so PHOSPHATE ion has 3 valency.

valence of phosphate ion is 3- is as follows we know that valency of P is 5 valency of O is 2 In phosphate 4 O atoms are there so total valency of oxygen will be:4*2=8 Net valency on phosphate will be:8-5=2 This is the reason phosphate is represented as PO43-

Phosphate formula is PO4, here oxygen valancy is -2 so 4x2=-8, phosphate can exist in +5 oxidation state, so that here phodphate valancy is -3.
