Phosphorus
What it bonds with?
Can't bond with acids
ionic bond
Forms?
White phosphorus
Red phosphorus
White phosphorus and red phosphorus should be kept under water (as it is dangerously reactive in air) and should be handled with forceps, as contact with the skin may cause severe burns.
Components?
DNA
Genes maker
ATP
Energy transferer
RNA
Protein carrier
Phosphorus can be replaced by nitrogen since both are similar in their lewis structure
Can't be replaced doubly because it dissolves in water
Phosphorus Synthesis?
Elemental phosphorus is liberated as a vapour and can be collected under phosphoric acid. This process is the first synthesis of phosphorus
Chemical Bonding?
Phosphorus can form the tetravalent phosphonium ion, and form salts such as phosphonium iodide [PH4]+[I– ]
Is a hybrid (shape of melecular orbit)
Has 4 s and p atomic orbitals
The simple Lewis structure for the trigonal bipyramidal(one atom in the center and five around it) PCl5(phosphorus chloride) molecule contains five covalent bonds(sharing electrons) , implying a hypervalent molecule(main group of elements) with ten valence electrons contrary to the octet rule
Phosphorus atoms can expand their valence to make penta- and hexavalent compounds
Where ligands are (ions) then you will know which position it is in. Either apical if least and if more axial
