(a) The , P4O6, and P4O10 molecules have a common structural feature of four P atoms
Chapter 24, Problem 22.86(choose chapter or problem)
(a) The , P4O6, and P4O10 molecules have a common structural feature of four P atoms arranged in a tetrahedron (Figures 22.27 and 22.28). Does this mean that the bonding between the P atoms is the same in all these cases? Explain. (b) Sodium trimetaphosphate (Na3P3O9) and sodium tetrametaphosphate (Na4P4O12) are used as water-softening agents.They contain cyclic and ions,respectively.Propose reasonable structures for these ions.
