Draw the structures of white phosphours and red phosphours. Which one of these two types of phosphours is more reactive and why ? |
Answer» Solution : White PHOSPHORUS is more reactive than red phosphours. Then various `P_(4)` moleucles of white phosphorurs are held togather by WEAK Vander WALL's force of attraction. Which makes it very reactive. On the other hand, molecules of red phosphours are joined by COVALENT bonds to give a polymeric structure, which makes it very stable and LESS reactive. |
