Is an atom of phosphorus stable?
No. Phosphorus is reactive with oxygen, so it does not exist in elemental form in nature.
What do you call a phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms?
d) A phosphate group.
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in water is formed when?
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and and an oxygen atom when the two atoms share electrons. They form a water molecule when there are two hydrogen atoms sharing electrons with one oxygen atom.
How many nuetrons are in phosphorus atom?
there are 16 nuetrons in phosphorus atom
What is the difference between oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule?
An oxygen atom is an atom with eight protons and eight electrons. An oxygen molecule is a particle that consists of two oxygen atoms that are bonded together.
Is an atom of phosphorus stable?
No. Phosphorus is reactive with oxygen, so it does not exist in elemental form in nature.
Is oxygen more electronegative than phosphorus?
According to the Pauling scale, the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 while that of phosphorus is 2.19. Therefore oxygen is more electronegative than phosphorus, i.e. the oxygen atom has a greater tendency to attract electrons towards itself than the phosphorus atom. Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, with an electronegativity value of 3.98.
A phosphorus atom surrounded bye four oxygen atoms is commonly?
PO4
What is the ratio of phosphorus atoms to oxygen atom in the compound?

What kind of chemical bond holds each oxygen atom to the phosphorus atom connect to?
Polar Covalent Bond
A phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms is commonly called a?
Phosphate group

The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in water is formed when?
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and and an oxygen atom when the two atoms share electrons. They form a water molecule when there are two hydrogen atoms sharing electrons with one oxygen atom.
A phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms is commomly called a?
A phosphorus atom surrounded by and chemically bonded to each of four oxygen atoms is commonly called a "phosphate ion" if it is a triply charged anion or a "phosphate group" if present in a covalently bonded compound.
How many nuetrons are in phosphorus atom?
there are 16 nuetrons in phosphorus atom
How many electrons are outside the nucleus of a phosphorus atom?
The neutral atom of phosphorus has 15 electrons in the atom.
