  2. Allotropes of phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_phosphorus

    The lattice structure of violet phosphorus has been obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction to be monoclinic with space group of P2/n (13) (a = 9.210, b = 9.128, c = 21.893 Å, β = 97.776°, CSD-1935087). The optical band gap of the violet phosphorus was measured by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to be around 1.7 eV.

  3. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

  4. White phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus

    The β form is believed to have a hexagonal crystal structure. [5] Molten and gaseous white phosphorus also retains the tetrahedral molecules, until 800 °C (1,500 °F; 1,100 K) when it starts decomposing to P 2 molecules. [6] The P 4 molecule in the gas phase has a P-P bond length of r g = 2.1994(3) Å as was determined by gas electron ...

  5. Tetrahedral molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_molecular_geometry

    In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.

  6. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    The structures of the metal-rich and phosphorus-rich phosphides can be complex. Phosphine (PH 3) and its organic derivatives (PR 3) are structural analogues of ammonia (NH 3), but the bond angles at phosphorus are closer to 90° for phosphine and its organic derivatives. Phosphine is an ill-smelling, toxic gas.

  7. Electron pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_pair

    Gilbert N. Lewis introduced the concepts of both the electron pair and the covalent bond in a landmark paper he published in 1916. [1] [2] MO diagrams depicting covalent (left) and polar covalent (right) bonding in a diatomic molecule. In both cases a bond is created by the formation of an electron pair.

  8. Phosphorus sesquisulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_sesquisulfide

    P 4 Se 3 and P 4 S 3 adopt the same structures. [1] These compounds can be melted together and form mixed crystals of one dissolved in the other. [4] Under higher temperatures, mixed chalcogenide molecules P 4 S 2 Se and P 4 SSe 2 will form. [5] P 4 S 3 is produced by the reaction of red or white phosphorus with sulfur. Excess sulfur gives ...

  9. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    A diagram showing the bond dipole moments of boron trifluoride. δ- shows an increase in negative charge and δ+ shows an increase in positive charge. Note that the dipole moments drawn in this diagram represent the shift of the valence electrons as the origin of the charge, which is opposite the direction of the actual electric dipole moment.
