What is the central atom in the chlorite anion surrounded by?
Oxygen atoms ... two oxygen atoms, to be exact.
How many protons are in an atom of phosphorous?
All phosphorus atoms have 15 protons (hence their atomic number of fifteen). Assuming the atom is neutral, it will also have an equal amount of electrons.
Is an atom of phosphorus stable?
No. Phosphorus is reactive with oxygen, so it does not exist in elemental form in nature.
How many atoms do there be in phosphorus?
Im assuming you mean protons because phosphorus is its own atom... but anyway phosphorus has 15 protons in its nucleus
How many single bonds are there in a covalently bonded molecule containing 1 phosphorus atom and 3 chlorine atoms?
There are three single bonds total, one between each of the chlorine atoms and the central phosphorus atom. The phosphorus atom has an additional lone pair of electrons and is thus a has a tetrahedral geometry.
A phosphorus atom surrounded bye four oxygen atoms is commonly?
PO4
A phosphorus atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms is commonly called a?
Phosphate group
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.
Phosphors atoms surrounded by four oxgen atoms is called what?
There are a few examples of compounds where a phosphorus atom is surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms. One simple example is the phosphate ion, PO43- Another is P4O10, where every P atom is surrounded by 4 oxygen atoms P4O9 where 3 P atoms are surrounded by 4 O atoms P4O7 where just one P atom is surrounded by 4 O atoms
What is the central atom in the chlorite anion surrounded by?
Oxygen atoms ... two oxygen atoms, to be exact.
What is the ratio of phosphorus atoms to oxygen atom in the compound?
Look in you book you dip!
What is the ratio of phosphorus atom to oxygen atoms in the compound?

The central atom in PH3 is surrounded by?
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
Minerals that have a sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms?
Sulfate minerals
What is the molecular geometry of PF3?
In a molecule of phosphorus fluoride, the phosphorus atom is in the center, and it is surrounded by the three fluoride atoms which are arranged at three of the four points of a tetrahedron. (The fourth point of the tetrahedron contains an electron pair from the phosphorus atom.)
What name of element and how much atoms in H3PO4?
This is an acid named PHOSPHORIC ACID. It contains 3 HYGROGEN atoms, 1 PHOSPHORUS atom and 4 OXYGEN atoms.
What does two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up?
Two fluorine atoms one chlorine atom and one phosphorus atom make up PClF2.
