If you consider the tetrahedron structure of P4, each P atom is engaged in 3 covalent bonds, and and a doublet is left (Remember that P has 5 external electrons). It is like any trivalent phosphorus compound: put two dots on each covalent bond, and a non bonding electron pair on each P. So each P atom is surrounded by 8 electrons. JF Gal gal@unice.fr

∙ 12y agoPhosphorus 4 is drawn slightly different than the normal Lewis structures because you need to utilize 45 degree angle bonds.
each P has three single bonds and a lone pair

naturally this leads to a tetrahedral geometry.

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
How do you balance P4O10 plus H2O equals H2PO4?
P4 3o2 ---> 2po5
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.

How do you balance redox H2O Cl2 P4 - POCl3 HCl?
P4+Cl2 P4+Cl2
What is p4 called in an expression?

Can you upgrade p4 to a higher p4?
They can be up-gunned with missiles and horsepower.

What is the diameter of a Phillips screwdriver p4?
Phillips P4 is 3/8 diameter.
Where can one purchase a Leatherman Squirt P4?
One can purchase a Leatherman Squirt P4 from the official Leatherman store online or alternatively, one can purchase it from stores like Amazon or eBay cheaper.
478 pin motherboard p4 3.2 and need better CPU... no better CPU then p4 3.2 for that pin?
How much you can upgrade a socket 478 depends on the chipset..and how long you are prepared to look around for the CPU. Assuming that your not limited by the chipset, P4 3.4EE (extreme edition) is the fastest P4 they made...there was some Core 2 Duo 478 CPUs made, but they are even more rare than the 3.4EEs and will be very hard to find.
Define 4 in p4?
