Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

In diphosphorus pentoxide there will be two phosphorous atoms and 5 oxygen atoms according to its name.

Therefore, the formula for diphosphorus pentoxide will be P_{2}O_{5} and it is a solid.

Thus, the correct skeleton equation for the reaction that takes place when solid phosphorus combines with oxygen gas to form diphosphorus pentoxide will be as follows.

                 P(s)+ O_{2}(g) \rightarrow P_{2}O_{5}(s)

valina [46]
Chemical reaction is a process in which one set of chemical substances (reactants) is converted into another (products). It involves making and breaking chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions are represented by balanced chemical equations, with chemical formulas symbolizing reactants and products. For specific chemical reactants, two questions may be posed about a possible chemical reaction. First, will a reaction occur? Second, what are the possible products if a reaction occurs? This
