Yes, phosphorus consists of P4 molecules which are arranged in molecular crystals bound by van der Waals forces. Each phosphorus atom is bound to three others in a tetrahedron.

What is the molecular formula of phosphorous?
P (That's it.) -------------- This answer was wrong. White phosporus, for example, is P4. For more information , please see the link.
How many moles of PCl5 can be produced from 24 grams of P4?
Assuming that you are combining the P4 with Cl2 and there is a suffiecient quantity of Cl2 for the P4 to completely react, you will first need a balanced equation which is P4 + 10Cl2 -> 4PCl5. From there, it's mostly stoichiometry. Take the 24g of P4, divide by the molar mass (123.88g/mol) to get the number of moles of P4 that you have (0.194). You then have to convert, using the balanced equation, from moles of P4 to moles of PCl5, in this case multiplying by 4. That will give you the number of moles of PCl5. The stoichiometry should look something like this 24.0 g P4 x (1 mol P4/123.88g P4) x (4 mol PCl5/1 mol P4).
What does Ca reacts with P4 make?
They form calcium phosphide Ca3P2 6Ca + P4 --> 2Ca3P2
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.
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
Molecular geometry of P4?
Tetrahedral
What is the molecular formula of white phosphorus?
P4
What type of bond does P4 have?
non-polar covalent
Molecular geometry P4?
Tetrahedral with P atoms at the vertices (corners)
What is the molecular formula of phosphorous?
P (That's it.) -------------- This answer was wrong. White phosporus, for example, is P4. For more information , please see the link.
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 phosphorus a metal or non metal?
Phosphorus is a non-metal. In its elemental form it is molecular and consists of tetrahedral P4
What is the molecular formulae of phosphorus?
The formula is H3PO4 O | HO-P-OH | OH O HO-P-OH H3PO4 OH
How do you balance redox H2O Cl2 P4 - POCl3 HCl?
P4+Cl2 P4+Cl2
What is p4 called in an expression?
In an expression p4 is called a term.
