Correct Answer: option B. moderately polar covalent 

Reason: 
Both phosphorus and oxygen are non-metals, and hence they are bonded by covalent bonds. Furthermore, the electro negativity of P and O is 2.1 and 3.5 respectively. The difference in electro negativity is 1.4. Due to the difference in electro negativity, nature of the P-O bond in phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) is moderately polar covalent.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

Is It Deadly To Mix Bleach, Rubbing Alcohol, And/or Hydrogen Peroxide?
Oduvanchick [21]
Mixing bleach with rubbing alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide can run the risk of producing chlorine gas. This is a gas that if inhaled in excess, or at all, is extremely dangerous, harmful or even fatal. Keeping this in mind, it is therefore not recommended that you mix these substances together. The label of your rubbing alcohol will recommend any substances it can or cannot be mixed with.
