Question

which of the following elements are in the compound: *
2 points

phosphorus (p) and oxygen (o)
potassium (k) and oxygen (o)
carbon (c) and oxygen (o)

Explanation:

In the chemical formula \(P_2O_3\), the symbol \(P\) represents phosphorus and \(O\) represents oxygen. The sub - scripts \(2\) and \(3\) indicate the number of atoms of each element in the compound. There is no symbol for potassium (\(K\)) or carbon (\(C\)) in the formula \(P_2O_3\).

Answer:

Phosphorus (P) and Oxygen (O)
