Why can only four atoms of phosphorus produce only two molecules of diphosphorus trioxide even when there is an excess of oxygen atoms?

Because no matter how much oxygen there is, it is diphosphorus, so each molecule has two phosphorus atoms. Because no matter how much oxygen there is, it is diphosphorus, so each molecule has two phosphorus atoms.

Phosphorus reacts with oxygen to produce diphosphorus pentoxide?
Po2 -> p2o5
What is the balanced equation burning phosphorous in air?
If there is an excess of air, the reaction should produce diphosphorus pentoxide as its only product. If additionally the phosphorus molecule is simply a phosphorus atom, the balanced equation is: 4 P + 5 O2 -> 2P2O5. If phosphorus is considered to form a tetraatomic molecule, the equation would be: P4 + 5 O2 -> 2 P2O5
Magnesium reacts with phosphorus?
magnesium reacts with phosphorus to produce magnesium phosphate.
Does phosphorus react with oxygen?
Yes, Phosphorus reacts with oxygen to produce oxides in the form of a gas. This can be seen in P4O6 or P4O10.
Does phosphorus produce light?
Yes.Only when it is burnt.

What mineral resources is produced by Syria Jordan and Israel?
Syria,Jordan, and Israel all produce phosphorus-minerals salt that contains the element of phosphorus

How many molecules does cellular respiration produce?
34 molecules
What is the limiting reactant when 3.1 moles of SO2 react with 2.7 moles of O2 to produce sulfur trioxide?
The limiting reactant is oxygen.
How is sulfuric acid related to acid?
Sulfuric Acid is an oxoacid of sulfur and is made of Hydrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen. It is produced by burning sulfur in air to produce Sulfur Dioxide, and then oxidizing the Sulfur Dioxide to Sulfur Trioxide. Sulfuric Acid can then be made from Sulfur Trioxide.
Can phosphorus produce cations or aions?
Phosphorus, like all atoms, tries to achieve a full electron shell. For Phosphorus to achieve its full shell and obtain an electron configuration that is isoelectronic with Argon, it must gain 3 electrons. Therefore, Phosphorus forms a -3 anion.
What nature of elements producing covalent molecules?
Nonmetals produce covalent molecules.
