In P4O6 (tetraphosphorus hexoxide), each phosphorus (P) atom is bonded to two oxygen (O) atoms. The compound consists of four phosphorus atoms bonded together in a tetrahedral structure, with each phosphorus atom forming two single bonds with two oxygen atoms. Therefore, in P4O6, there are a total of eight oxygen atoms bonded to the four phosphorus atoms, resulting in an average of two oxygen atoms bonded to each phosphorus atom.
