False statement about white phosphorus is
- A it is highly soluble in carbon disulphide
- B the angle \(\angle \mathrm{PPP}\) in \(\mathrm{P}_4\) molecules is \(60^{\circ}\)
- C white \(\mathrm{P}_4\) molecules contains four \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}\) covalent bonds
- D white phosphorus is the most reactive allotrope of phosphorus
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) white \(\mathrm{P}_4\) molecules contains four \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}\) covalent bonds
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The incorrect statement is white phosphorus \(\left(\mathrm{P}_4\right)\) molecule contains four \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}\) covalent bonds. In a white phosphorus molecule there are four lone pairs of electrons on phosphorus atoms and six \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}\) covalent bonds.…
