The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound has the maximum P-O-P linkage, we will analyze each of the given compounds: P4O6, P4O10, and HPO3. We will draw their structures and count the number of P-O-P bonds (linkages) in each. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze P4O6:** - The structure of P4O6 can be represented as follows: ``` O | P - O - P | | O O | | P - O - P | O ``` - In this structure, we can identify the P-O-P linkages. Counting these, we find there are **6 P-O-P linkages**. 2. **Analyze P4O10:** - The structure of P4O10 can be represented as follows: ``` O | P = O | P - O - P | | O O | | P = O | O ``` - Here, we again count the P-O-P linkages. There are also **6 P-O-P linkages** in this compound. 3. **Analyze HPO3:** - The structure of HPO3 (phosphoric acid) can be represented as follows: ``` O || O - P - O - H | O ``` - In this case, we can see that there are **3 P-O-P linkages**. 4. **Comparison of P-O-P Linkages:** - From our analysis: - P4O6 has 6 P-O-P linkages. - P4O10 has 6 P-O-P linkages. - HPO3 has 3 P-O-P linkages. - Therefore, P4O6 and P4O10 both have the maximum number of P-O-P linkages, which is 6. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since both P4O6 and P4O10 have the same maximum number of P-O-P linkages, the correct answer is option D: "It is same for both 1 and 2." ### Final Answer: **Option D: It is same for both 1 and 2.** ---
