Atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus is 4 and it is represented as P4 molecule, calculate the value of expression x.yz regarding this molecule.
Where, x: Total number of vertex angles in P4 molecule
y: Total number of lone pairs in P4 molecule
z: Total number of P---P bonds in P4 molecule.
Atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus is 4 and it is represented as P4 molecule.
Where x: Total number of vertex angles in P4 molecule =12.
y : Total number of lone pairs in P4 molecule =4.
z : Total number of P---P bonds in P4 molecule =6.
Now,
x.yz=12×46=8
Thus, the value of expression x.yz regarding this molecule is 8.
