The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the phosphorus oxides and their structures are correct, we can analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** Oxide of Phosphorus P2O3 and P2O5 exist as monomers. **Analysis:** - P2O3 (phosphorus trioxide) and P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) do not exist as monomers. - Instead, they exist as dimers. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement:** P2O5 exists as PCl4+ (tetrahedral) and P2O6- (octahedral). **Analysis:** - P2O5 can be represented as PCl4+ in a tetrahedral geometry, which is correct. - P2O6- can be represented as having an octahedral geometry, which is also correct. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement:** Solid PBr5 exists as PBr4+ and Br-. **Analysis:** - PBr5 (phosphorus pentabromide) does dissociate in solid state to form PBr4+ and Br-. - This statement is therefore **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement:** Solid N2O5 exists as NO2+ and NO3-. **Analysis:** - N2O5 (dinitrogen pentoxide) can indeed dissociate into NO2+ and NO3- in solid form. - This statement is therefore **correct**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the statements, we find: - The first statement is **incorrect**. - The second, third, and fourth statements are **correct**. ### Final Answer The correct statements are: - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Correct - Statement 4: Correct
