Atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus ...

Atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus is 4 annd it is represented as `P_(4)` molecule
Calculate the value of expresion`(x*y)/(z)` regarding this molecule.
Where x: total number of vertex angles in `P_(4)` molecule.
y: Total number of lone pairs in `P_(4)` molecule
z: total number of P-P bonds in `P_(4)` molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
8

`x=12,y=4,z=6`
The value of `(XY)/(2)=(12xx4)/(6)=8`
