The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given phosphorus compounds have P-O-P bonds, we will analyze the structures of each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze H4P2O6 - The structure of H4P2O6 can be represented as: ``` O || H-O-P-OH | P=O | OH ``` - In this structure, there are no P-O-P bonds present. The phosphorus atoms are connected to oxygen atoms through double bonds and hydroxyl groups. **Hint:** Look for direct connections between phosphorus atoms through oxygen in the structure. ### Step 2: Analyze P2O5 - The structure of P2O5 can be represented as: ``` O || O=P-O-P=O || O ``` - In this structure, there are no P-O-P bonds. The phosphorus atoms are connected through double bonds to oxygen. **Hint:** Check if phosphorus atoms are connected through single bonds to oxygen, which would indicate a P-O-P bond. ### Step 3: Analyze P4O6 - The structure of P4O6 can be represented as: ``` O | O-P-O-P-O-P-O-P=O | O ``` - In this structure, there are P-O-P bonds present between the phosphorus atoms. **Hint:** Identify any segments where phosphorus atoms are connected through oxygen atoms. ### Step 4: Analyze P4O10 - The structure of P4O10 can be represented as: ``` O | O-P-O-P-O-P-O-P=O | O ``` - Similar to P4O6, this structure also contains P-O-P bonds between the phosphorus atoms. **Hint:** Look for multiple connections between phosphorus atoms through oxygen in the structure. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - H4P2O6: No P-O-P bonds - P2O5: No P-O-P bonds - P4O6: Contains P-O-P bonds - P4O10: Contains P-O-P bonds ### Final Answer The compounds that have P-O-P bonds are **P4O6 and P4O10**.

To determine which of the given phosphorus compounds have P-O-P bonds, we will analyze the structures of each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze H4P2O6 - The structure of H4P2O6 can be represented as: ``` O || H-O-P-OH ...
