Phosphorus is a chemical element, not a compound.
This is a covalent compound.
It is a chemical compound composed of phosphorus and oxygen, with molecular formula P4O10. It is produced by the complete combustion of phosphorus. It is also known as phosphorus pentaoxide (but the molecule is really composed of 4 phosphorus atoms and 10 oxygens).

Barium hydroxide is a molecular compound.
Molecular
Phosphorus pentoxide is a covalent compound.
It is Bromine Br and Phosphorus P, and also known as Phosphorus Pentabromide.
It is a molecular (covalent) compound. Present day text books refer to a covalent compound as a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic one.
Phosphorus trichloride is represented by the formula PCl3.
PCl3
Yes. It is Phosphorus Trifluoride. Uh, no. Phosphorus and fluoride are both nonmetals and both form anions. Thus, PF3 is a molecular compound. Also, that PF3 is called phosphorus TRIfluoride should indicate to you that it is a molecular compound, because only molecular compounds have prefixes.
P2S5 is molecular. The molecular formula is P4S10. It structure is the same as the molecular form of P2O5, which is P4O10. The compound is normally called simply phosphorus pentasulfide, however a more correct name diphosphorus pentasulfide.
H₃PO₃ is the molecular formula for Phosphorus Acid.Hope this helps.

tricalcium phosphate is an ionic compound do to the fact that it is the bonding of a metal and a nonmetal. it is usually only a molecular compound if it is a bond between two nonmetals such as oxygen and hydrogen.
The molecular formula is P4O10. There may be a more complicated structural formula.
Phosphorus is a chemical element, not a compound.
