What else can I help you with?
A compound formed of only phosphorus and oxygen is found to be 56.35 phosphorus. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
P underscore 2 O underscore 3
What should the net charge of an ionic compound be for it to be stable?
Zero. Only neutral ionic compounds are stable
Why cant ph5 phosphorus pentahydride exist?
This compound could possibly exist, but it would be very unstable towards decomposition to PH3 and H2. One could propose either an ionic (PH4+H-) or covalent structure for this compound. The covalent structure would involve an expanded valence shell involving d2sp3 hybrid orbitals. For phosphorus, valence shell expansion is usually favored by bonding to electronegative elements such as halogens. Since hydrogen is of similar electronegativity to phosphorus, this covalent structure would not be favored. Concerning the possible ionic structure, the hydrogen atoms bonded to PH4+ have some protic character. Therefore they would readily react with the hydride ion to form H2. If PH5 could be made, it would be stable only at very low temperatures under very high pressures.
Is phosphorous acid an element?
The empirical formula for phosphoric acid is H3PO4. Its molecular formula is P2O5·3H2O. It is composed of the elements hydrogen, phosphorus and oxygen. Most solutions of phosphoric acid are composed of some amount of H3PO4 in water, H2O.For more information about phosphoric acid, see the Web Links to the left.
What is the Ionic charge of phosphorus?
Generally P3- ion in phosphides (so, charge is -3)
How many nurtons does phosphorus have?
Phosphorus-31 is the only stable isotope of phosphorus and has 16 neutrons.

How many neutrons does phosphours have?
There are several isotopes of Phosphorus (P), all of which have 15 protons. Only one stable isotope exists in nature, having 16 neutrons. 31P has 16 neutrons 32P has 17 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope) 33P has 18 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope)
What is the number of electrons and protons in phosphorus?
Phosphorus (P) has 15 protons and 15 electrons. Phosphorus-31, the only stable isotope of Phosphorus, has 16 neutrons.
How do you make phospherous?
Phosphorus is a mineral. It can only be found in nature.
Is PF3 a compound or element?
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.
Is phophorus a stable atom?
No, it is quite reactive, at least far more than its inert group 15 predecessor Nitrogen: White Phosphorus (P4 allotrope) ignites at 30 °C (!)
What should the net charge of an ionic compound be for it to be stable?
Zero. Only neutral ionic compounds are stable

Is monofluorophosphate an element?
No it is a compound. Easily distinguishable as such because not only does it contain the mono- prefix but it also contains the modified name of Fluorine and Phosphorus.
Is PCl you binary molecular compound?
The compound PCl don't exist; all phosphorous chlorides are binary compounds.
