Phosphorus pentoxide crystallizes in at least four forms or polymorphs.The most familiar one, a metastable form [1] (shown in the figure), comprises molecules of P 4 O 10.Weak van der Waals forces hold these molecules together in a hexagonal lattice (However, in spite of the high symmetry of the molecules, the crystal packing is not a close packing [2]).
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
A general formula for such cyclic compounds is [HPO 3] x where x = number of phosphoric units in the molecule. When metaphosphoric acids lose their hydrogens as H +, cyclic anions called metaphosphates are formed. An example of a compound with such an anion is sodium hexametaphosphate (Na 6 P 6 O 18), used as a sequestrant and a food additive.
The compound can also be created in the gas phase by reacting nitrogen dioxide NO 2 or N 2 O 4 with ozone: [13] 2 NO 2 + O 3 → N 2 O 5 + O 2. However, the product catalyzes the rapid decomposition of ozone: [13] 2 O 3 + N 2 O 5 → 3 O 2 + N 2 O 5. Dinitrogen pentoxide is also formed when a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen is passed through an ...

These compounds react with water to form phosphine. Other phosphides , for example Na 3 P 7 , are known for these reactive metals. With the transition metals as well as the monophosphides there are metal-rich phosphides, which are generally hard refractory compounds with a metallic lustre, and phosphorus-rich phosphides which are less stable ...
Pyrophosphates are generally white or colorless. The alkali metal salts are water-soluble. [3] They are good complexing agents for metal ions (such as calcium and many transition metals) and have many uses in industrial chemistry. Pyrophosphate is the first member of an entire series of polyphosphates. [4]
Arsenic pentoxide is the inorganic compound with the formula As 2 O 5. [2] This glassy, white, deliquescent solid is relatively unstable, consistent with the rarity of the As(V) oxidation state. More common, and far more important commercially, is arsenic(III) oxide (As 2 O 3 ).
