Is P2I4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide covalent or ionic?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago

Answer: covalent bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

As P_2I_4 or Diphosphorus tetraiodide is made up of phosphorous and iodine which are both non metals , it is a covalent bond.

Diphosphorus tetraiodide  is a covalent compound.

It has low melting point as compared to ionic compounds

It is a rare compound where the oxidation state of Phosphorous is +2.

It is also termed as subhalide of phosphorous.

The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving rando
eduard
1. Weird things like the one described above do not happen on a ramdom basis becuause molecules usually move within any enclosure in a ramdom manner. Thus, it is not possible for some types of particles to aggregate in one point while other types of molecule aggreagate in another point. Based on the kinetic energy that is available for each particle, each particle will move random
through the available space, colliding with one another and with the wall of container.

2. It will be a difficult thing to live in a Maxwell' demon world because, things will happen unpredictably and one will never know what to expect next because anything can happen at anytime. For instance, if one is drinking a glass of water, some of the particles of the water may just decide to aggregate to one part of the cup and start boiling. So, for someone who is taking a glass of water, the water may start boiling right inside his mouth when he is drinking, that will be a bad experience. When one is driving a car, the petrol particles may just decide to freeze up when one is busy speeding on the highway; that can cause a very serious accident. Thus, a world where the Maxwell law operates will be a chaotic world.
