The bond length of a chemical bond between phosphorus and oxygen
Accepted Answer
The bond length between phosphorus and oxygen varies depending on the specific compound and its molecular geometry. For instance, in phosphorus oxide (P4O10), the P-O bond length is about 1.62 Å, while in phosphate (PO43-), it's closer to 1.54 Å. The bond length is influenced by factors such as bond order, electronegativity difference, and surrounding atoms.
