Phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10) is used as a dehydrating agent in many organic synthesis reactions. What type of bonding occurs between the atoms of a P4O10 molecule?

Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

P4O10 is a chemical compound generally known as Phosphorus pentoxide, derived from its empirical formula P2O5. P4O10 is technically called tetraphosphorus decaoxide, but under normal conditions it only exists as the dimer of P2O5, which is phosphorus (V) oxide, or phosphorus pentaoxide.

P4010 consists of two elements; phosphorus and oxygen. P4O10 is a covalent compound. This is because Phosphorous and Oxygen are both nonmetals, the bond formed is as a result of sharing of electrons.

120,630,890

step-by-step explanation:

110+10=120,620+10=630,880+10=890

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
