What is is the Lewis Structure for P2O3?

Answer 1

The Lewis structure for P2O3, also known as diphosphorus trioxide, consists of two phosphorus atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms. Each phosphorus atom forms a double bond with an oxygen atom, and there is a lone pair of electrons on each oxygen atom. The overall structure can be represented as O=P-P=O. This arrangement satisfies the octet rule for both phosphorus and oxygen atoms.

Answer 2

Almost impossible to design this with a simple text editor, but I'll give it a try:

O=P-O-P=O

It is not a linear molecule though,

with only the shared electron pairs marked as "-" or "=" ,

and without any free el. pairs (so: 2 pairs for each O, and 1 pair for each P are missing)

Answer 3

The Lewis structure for P2O3 consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to another phosphorus atom through a double bond, and each phosphorus atom is also bonded to three oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom is connected to one phosphorus atom through a single bond. This results in a trigonal planar shape for each phosphorus atom.

Answer 4

P

Answer 5

p-o-p
