Dear Mansi,
● Answer with Explanation -
Let x be the valency of desired metal.
Comparing formula of metal oxide M2O with standard formula M2Ox, valency of the required metal M is x = 1.
Hence, formula of its compounds is given by -
(a) Metal phosphide - M3P.
(b) Metal Phosphate - M3PO4.
(c) Metal phosphite - M3PO3.
