Answer :
Explanation:
Phosphorus and oxygen atoms are considered as non-metals and two non-metals usually form covalent bonds.
A covalent bond is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a bond.
The nomenclature of a covalent compound is given by:
- The less electronegative element is written first.
- The more electronegative element is written then, and a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.
- If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on..
From the two atoms, less electronegative atom is phosphorus and thus, is written first.
Naming of the given compound are as follows:
1. [tex]P_4O_7[/tex] = The name given to this compound is tetraphosphorus heptoxide
2. [tex]P_2O_5[/tex] = The name given to this compound is diphosphorus pentoxide
3. [tex]P_2O_4[/tex] = The name given to this compound is diphosphorus tetroxide
4. [tex]PO[/tex] = The name given to this compound is phosphorus monoxide
[tex]P_{2} O_{4}[/tex]→ diphosphorus tetroxide
[tex]P_{4} O_{7}[/tex]→ tetraphosphorus heptoxide
[tex]P_{2} O_{5}[/tex]→ diphosphorus pentoxide
[tex]PO[/tex]→ phosphorus monoxide
