A certain compound is made up of one phosphorus (P) atom, three chlorine (Cl) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom. What is the chemical formula of this compound?
Ok so we know that all of these are non metals therefore they will bond using covalent bonds. Phoshorus can have 3 bonds Chlorine can have 1 bond and Oxygen can two bonds. Cl-P=O The chemical formula I belive is PClO hope this helps :).
