lewis dot structure of Ca3P2
« on: March 15, 2005, 11:10:08 AM »
I can not correctly draw the lewis dot structure for calcium phosphide.  What am I doing wrong.  Does it not adhere to the octet rule?

P can have 10e around it.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
