Question

Atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus is 4 and it is represented as P4 molecule.
Calculate the value of expression $\frac{X \cdot Y}{Z}$ regarding this molecule.
Where X: Total number of vertex angles in P4 molecule
Y: Total number of lone pairs in P4 molecule
Z: Total number of P—P bonds in P4 molecule

Correct answer: 8 / X = 12, Y = 4, Z = 6. $\FRAC{X \CDOT Y}{Z} = \FRAC{12 \TIMES 4}{6} = 8$
