Which of the following isomers of phosphorus is thermodynamically most stable?

Question

Verified by Toppr

Answer 1

Black phosphorous is the thermodynamically stable form of phosphorous at room temperature and pressure.

It has an orthorhombic structure and is the least reactive allotrope; as a result of its lattice of interlinked six-membered rings where each atom is bonded to three other atoms.

Hence, option C is correct.

Which of the following isomers of phosphorus is thermodynamically most stable?

Red

White

Black

Yellow

The most thermodynamically stable allotropic form of phosphorus is_______.

The order of densities of the various allotropes of phosphorus is as follows:
black phosphorus, red phosphorus, white phosphorus.

As tendency of polymerisation increases, the compactness of substance also increases.

Statement $$\displaystyle -$$ 1 : White phosphorus is less stable where as red phosphorus is more stable.

Statement $$\displaystyle -$$ 2 : White phosphorus exist as individual $$\displaystyle P_{4}$$ having more strained geometery while red phosphorus has $$\displaystyle P_{4}$$ tetrahedron structure linked together.
