Answer:

Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when we want to balance chemical reactions such as in this case, the idea is to equal to number of atoms of each element at each side of the equation according to the lay of conservation of mass, just as shown below:

$P_4+5O_2\rightarrow P_4O_{10}$

Because we have four phosphorous and ten oxygen atoms at each side.
