Answer 2

Answer:

P₄O₁₀ phosphorus pentaoxide has 4 short bonds and 11 long bonds.

Explanation:

• In P₄O₁₀, there are four P=O bonds and 11 P-O bonds.

• As we know the bond length of single bond is greater than that of double bonds.

• P=O bonds are double bonds. So they are short. P-O bonds are single bonds. They are long.

Therefore, It is concluded that P₄O₁₀ has 4 short bonds and 11 long bonds.
