The formula of vapour state of white phosphorus is ......
- A \(P_5\)
- B \(P_{16}\)
- C \(P_3\)
- D \(P_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(P_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
White phosphorus or yellow phosphorus is simply tetraphosphorus \(\left(\mathrm{P}_4\right)\) exists as molecules made up of four atoms in a tetrahedral structure in vapour state. Hence, the correct option is (4).
