Problem

The atomicity of white or yellow phosphorus is 4, and it is represented by the

\text{P}_4

molecule. Calculate the value of

\frac{x\cdot y}{z}

for this molecule, where

x

is the total number of vertex angles in the

\text{P}_4

molecule,

y

is the total number of lone pairs in the

\text{P}_4

molecule, and

z

is the total number of

\text{P}-\text{P}

bonds in the

\text{P}_4

molecule.
