Vedclass · Answer

(A) The structure of phosphorus trioxide $(P_4O_6)$ consists of $4$ phosphorus atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron,with $6$ oxygen atoms bridging the $P-P$ edges,resulting in $6$ $P - O - P$ bridges.Similarly,the structure of phosphorus pentoxide $(P_4O_{10})$ consists of $4$ phosphorus atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron,with $6$ oxygen atoms bridging the $P-P$ edges and $4$ additional oxygen atoms attached to each phosphorus atom via a double bond,also resulting in $6$ $P - O - P$ bridges.Therefore,both have $6$ $P - O - P$ bridges.

List-$I$ Name of oxo acid	List-$II$ Oxidation state of $P$
$(a)$ Hypophosphorous acid	$(i) +5$
$(b)$ Orthophosphoric acid	$(ii) +4$
$(c)$ Hypophosphoric acid	$(iii) +3$
$(d)$ Orthophosphorous acid	$(iv) +2$
	$(v) +1$

What are the number of $P - O - P$ bridges in phosphorus pentoxide and phosphorus trioxide,respectively?
