Sodium fluoride reacts with hydroxyapatite to give fluorapatite according to the chemical reaction:2NaF + Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 → Ca10(PO4)6F2 + 2NaOHi. Name each ion in fluorapatite.ii. Indicate the charge on each ion in fluorapatite.iii. Show that the molecular formula for fluorapatite represents a neutral compound
So I don't understand what they mean by name each ion. Do they mean polyatomic ions or each individual ion? Ie. phospate, calcium and fluorine. OR ar they just meaning phosphate??
Also needing help with the other two but we will start with this

I need the ion charges please

Swear I answered this question on this site yesterday...
i. Calcium ion, phosphate, fluoride
ii. Ca 2+, (PO4)3-, F- 
iii. There are 10 calciums, so that is +20. There are 6 phosphate ions, so that is -18 There are then 2 fluorides, so that is -2 20 + -2 + -18 = 0
