No element has an number with the letter. There are several elements starting with a P. But not just P.

Yes, it is the element phosphorus.

Element
Iodine, I2 is an diatomic element, with two atoms in the molecule.
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
This is because a compound is a molecule of two different elements.
The answer could be molecule, compound and matter depending on the atoms of various element.
Nitrogen naturally occurs as a diatomic molecule (N2). Nitrogen, by itself, is an element.
Phosphorus(P4) is the only element which is a tetratomic molecule.
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
This molecule of phosphorus can be called a tetrahedron of phosphorus.
Nitrogen is an element that is usually found alone as the N2 molecule. It is not a compound.
This is a compound, a molecule.
Most molecules are compounds but not all. Some molecules such as O2 and P4 are elements.
Hydrogen is an element. Also a molecule.
NH3 is molecule of ammoia. It is not element
The answer is four. The molecular formula of any element or compund gives you the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For phosphorus the most common form is P4 . The molecules are tetrahedral with a P atom at each apex.
An element is any substance that consists of only one type of atom, that is all atoms have the same number of protons. A compound is a substance that has two or more elements chemically bonded together either covalently or ionically in a fixed ratio. A molecule is a particle that consists of two or more atoms covalently bonded together. A molecule can have atoms of a single element (such as O2 or P4) in which case it is an element or it can consist of multiple elements (such as CO2 or H2SO4) in which case it is considered a compound.
It could be either. For example, a molecule of O2 or Cl2 is an element, but one of CH4 or NO3 is a compound.
