Question

A certain compound is made up of one phosphorus (P) atom, three chlorine (Cl) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom. What is the chemical formula of this compound?

Answer 1

Ok so we know that all of these are non metals therefore they will bond using covalent bonds.
Phoshorus can have 3 bonds Chlorine can have 1 bond and Oxygen can two bonds.
Cl-P=O
The chemical formula I belive is PClO hope this helps :).
