Phosphorus 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.
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).
The tetragonal space group of the crystal structure being studied is P4/mmm.
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.
P4. It has 4 atoms compared to Cl2 having 2
The oxidation number of P in P4 is 0. Each phosphorus atom in P4 shares electrons equally with the other phosphorus atoms, resulting in a net charge of 0 for each phosphorus atom.
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.

Yes, phosphorus exists in several allotropes, with P4 (white phosphorus) and P8 (red phosphorus) being two common forms. White phosphorus has a tetrahedral P4 structure, while red phosphorus has a layered P8 structure.

In an expression p4 is called a term.

P4, or tetraphosphorus, refers to a molecular structure composed of four phosphorus atoms. It is not classified as an isomer or resonance structure; rather, it is a distinct molecular species. Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangements or connectivity of atoms, while resonance structures represent different ways to draw the same molecule that differ only in the placement of electrons. Thus, P4 is simply a molecular entity rather than a representation of isomerism or resonance.
They can be up-gunned with missiles and horsepower.
the color of P4 is light brown
Zero. Phosphorus will not trade electrons with itself.
p4 + 3O2 ---> 2PO3
