Are ions present in a sample P4O6 ? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There are no ions present in a sample P4O6 because it is a molecule (covalent compound).

Step by step solution

01

Define covalent compounds

Covalent compounds are a class of chemical compounds that are formed from two or more nonmetals. The chemical bond formed between two non-metals is called a covalent bond in which two nonmetals share their electrons with one another.

02

Identify whether the given compound is covalent or not

P4O6 contains phosphorus and oxygen atoms. Both atoms are non-metals in nature. So, they can share their electrons with each other to form covalent bonds. Here no complete electron transfer has occurred. The compound formed between them is called a covalent molecule/compound. Hence, there are no ions present in a sample P4O6.
