Which has $P - P$ bond(s) :-

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

A is P₄O₁₀ (phosphorus pentoxide), as it reacts with excess H₂O to form H₃PO₄. F is Ca₃(PO₄)₂ which is reduced with SiO₂ and C (the thermal process) to produce G, which is white phosphorus (P₄). G (P₄) has a tetrahedral structure with discrete P-P bonds, whereas oxides and oxoacids like A and C contain P-O-P linkages.

Therefore, the correct option is (A), which corresponds to compound G.
