Which is the correct name for p2o5? phosphorus dioxide phosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus hexaoxide
1 answer:
Correct option:
The correct name for is diphosphorus pentoxide.
Why is called diphosphorus pentoxide?
is commonly known as diphosphorus pentoxide.
Phosphorus pentoxide has an intriguing property in that is actually its empirical formula, whereas
is its actual molecular formula.
However, the name of the chemical was obtained from its empirical formula rather than from its molecular formula. The official name for this substance is diphosphorus pentoxide.
Oxygen-containing binary compounds have "oxide" as their "last name." Phosphorus is the "first name."
We list each atom's numbers below:
The di- and Penta- prefixes are used to indicate the presence of two and five oxygen atoms, respectively, in the molecule.

Answer:
sp³d¹ hybridization
Explanation:
Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...
The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.
Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:
Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰
=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹
=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹
giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.
Note the following images:
Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.
