The question is: Give the systematic name of [tex]P_{2}S_{3}[/tex].
Answer: The systematic name of [tex]P_{2}S_{3}[/tex] is diphosphorus trisulfide.
Explanation:
As the chemical formula of given compound is [tex]P_{2}S_{3}[/tex]. This sows that there are two phosphorus atoms so a prefix "di" will be added before the name of phosphorus atom.
Whereas there are three sulfur atoms present here. So, a prefix "tri" will be added before naming the sulfur atom. As sulfur is the anion so a suffix '-ide' will be added to its name.
Hence, name of the compound [tex]P_{2}S_{3}[/tex] is diphosphorus trisulfide.
Thus, we can conclude that the systematic name of [tex]P_{2}S_{3}[/tex] is diphosphorus trisulfide.
