How many total phosphorus atoms are shown in the following: Al2P3? *
1 point
A2
B3
C6

3 P atoms

Explanation:

Al₂P₃ => contains 2 Aluminum ions (2Al⁺³) and 3 Phosphide ions (3P⁻³) ... The ions (charged particles) are from atoms that have lost or gained electrons during the bonding process. So, Al₂P₃ => P⁻³ ions from 3 P atoms.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
