The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of compounds that have at least one bridging oxo group among the given molecules, we will analyze each compound one by one. A bridging oxo group is defined as an oxygen atom that connects two metal or non-metal atoms in a structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The compounds given are: - N₂O₃ - N₂O₅ - P₄O₆ - P₄O₇ - H₄P₂O₅ - H₅P₃O₁₀ - H₂S₂O₃ - H₂S₂O₅ 2. **Understand Bridging Oxo Groups**: A bridging oxo group connects two atoms, typically represented as M-O-M, where M can be a metal or non-metal. 3. **Analyze Each Compound**: - **N₂O₃**: The structure does not show any bridging oxo groups. (NO bridging) - **N₂O₅**: Contains a bridging oxo group (N-O-N). (Has bridging) - **P₄O₆**: Contains bridging oxo groups (P-O-P). (Has bridging) - **P₄O₇**: Contains bridging oxo groups (P-O-P). (Has bridging) - **H₄P₂O₅**: Contains bridging oxo groups (P-O-P). (Has bridging) - **H₅P₃O₁₀**: Contains bridging oxo groups (P-O-P). (Has bridging) - **H₂S₂O₃**: Does not contain any bridging oxo groups. (NO bridging) - **H₂S₂O₅**: Does not contain any bridging oxo groups. (NO bridging) 4. **Count the Compounds with Bridging Oxo Groups**: - The compounds with bridging oxo groups are: N₂O₅, P₄O₆, P₄O₇, H₄P₂O₅, and H₅P₃O₁₀. - Total = 5 compounds. ### Final Answer: The total number of compounds having at least one bridging oxo group is **5**.
