Question

How many $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{S}$ and bonds are present in ${\mathrm{P}}_4{\mathrm{S}}_3$?

Answer 1

Structure of ${\mathrm{P}}_4{\mathrm{S}}_3$:

1. ${\mathrm{P}}_4{\mathrm{S}}_3$ is known as Phosphorous sequisulphide.
2. It is a yellowish solid without any health hazardous effect.
3. There are total $6\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{S}$ bonds and $3\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{P}$ bonds.

Therefore, there are total $6\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{S}$ bonds present in ${\mathrm{P}}_4{\mathrm{S}}_3$.
