Iron Phosphide

Fe - Iron P - Phosphorus
3 and 2 refer to how many atoms there are to make the compound neutral.


Phosphorus has a charge of -3 and Iron has a charge of +2.


*Note: Iron can have two charges, +3 and +2.
Iron with a positive charge of +3 is called Iron (III) or Fe (III)
Iron with a positive charge of +2 is called Iron (II) or Fe (II)


In this case it has a charge of +2. Also remember that Fe (III) and Fe (II) is represented by Roman Numerals NOT numbers.
