How many atoms are there in the molecule of phospherous P4?
The answer is four. The molecular formula of any element or compund gives you the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For phosphorus the most common form is P4 . The molecules are tetrahedral with a P atom at each apex.
What do we mean by homo-nuclear molecule?
A homonuclear molecule is one in which all the atoms are of the same element. Examples are H2 and P4 or even a diamond, which consists of a giant molecule composed of carbon atoms.
Is P4 the chemical formula of phosphorous?
P is the chemical symbol for phosphorus. But you are correct in believing that the two most comman allotropes of phosphorus (red and white phosphorus) exist as P4. a tetrahedral arrangement of 4 phosphorus atoms. Another alloptrope is P2- Diphosphorus, which is highly reactive.
What is the chemical formula for phosporus?
Phosphorus may rarely be seen as P, but it will usually be seen as white or red phosphorus, both of which are P4. White P4 is a tetrahedral structure. Red P4 is a chain-like structure, where one of the bonds from white P4 is broken and joined with a neighboring P4.
Examples of polyatomic molecules?
S8 P4 etc. H2SO4 is also a polyatomic molecule.
How many phosphorus atoms are in a molecule of P4?
76
Which has the greater number of atoms 1 molecule of Cl2 or 1 molecule of P4?
P4. It has 4 atoms compared to Cl2 having 2
What is the difference between P4 and 4P?
4P means there are 4 separate atoms of phosphorus whiles P4 means there are are 4 atoms in a molecule of phosphorus
How many atoms of phosphorus are present in a molecule of phosphorus?
Today are known the phosphorus molecules P2 and P4.
How many atoms are there in the molecule of phospherous P4?
The answer is four. The molecular formula of any element or compund gives you the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For phosphorus the most common form is P4 . The molecules are tetrahedral with a P atom at each apex.
Is P4 an ionic compound?
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
Is a molecule of phosphorus triatomic in nature?
no, it has four atoms, P4.
Molecular geometry P4?
Tetrahedral with P atoms at the vertices (corners)
What is P4 in science?
It could be an allotrope of phosphorus, containing four phosphorus atoms.
Is P4 phosphorus?
YES!!! It is a molecule that contains four(4) atoms of phosphorus.
How many atoms are there in 7.52 moles of Phosphorus?
Phosphorus exists in tetra-atomic state (P4)so 1 molecule of Phosphorous has 4 atomsso required no. of atoms = 7.52 X 6.023 X 1023 = 4.53 X 1024 atoms
Why N2 is less reactive than P4?
In N2, there is a stron triple bond between the two nitrogens which require large amount of energy to break. Hence it is less reactive. In P4, there is single bonds between the different phosphorus atoms and it easy to break and hence P4 is more reactive.
