Answer : The name of [tex]P_2O_4[/tex] is, diphosphorus tetroxide.

The name of [tex]P_4O_7[/tex] is, tetraphosphorus heptoxide.

The name of [tex]P_2O_5[/tex] is, diphosphorus pentoxide.

Explanation :

The given compounds are a covalent compounds because sharing of electrons takes place between phosphorous and oxygen. Both the elements are non-metals and hence, will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

The less electronegative element is named first.

The more electronegative element is named then, and a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.
