Vedclass · Answer

(D) The structure of $P_4O_{10}$ consists of a $P_4$ tetrahedron where each $P$ atom is bonded to three other $P$ atoms through oxygen bridges ($P-O-P$ bonds). Additionally,each $P$ atom is bonded to a terminal oxygen atom via a double bond $(P=O)$. These terminal $P=O$ bonds are shorter than the $P-O-P$ single bonds. In $P_4O_{10}$,there are $4$ such terminal $P=O$ bonds. Therefore,the number of short $P-O$ bonds is $4$.
