. Draw the structure of and identify the number
of single P - O bonds .P4O6
Best Answer
Solution:
It is the anhydride of orthophosphoric acid, (phosphorus trioxide) therefore also known as phosphorous oxide or phosphorous anhydride. P4O6
It is a solid soft white color. It is an anhydride of an acid so it behaves as an acidic and will hydrolyze in water to generate phosphorous acid. Phosphorus trioxide is a dimer with the formula . P4O6
Structure of can be shown as: P4O6
Number of single P-O bonds are 12 as shown in the figure.
