(2) three fewer valence electrons is your answer.
<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of
in water is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
The balanced equilibrium reaction for the ionization of cadmium phosphate follows:

3s 2s
The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be:
![K_{sp}=[Cd^{2+}]^3[PO_4^{3-}]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bsp%7D%3D%5BCd%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%5E3%5BPO_4%5E%7B3-%7D%5D%5E2)
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the solubility of
in water is
