Tetraphosphorus decaoxide. When a prefix ends in an a or o and the other starts in an a or o, the last vowel of the prefix is dropped to prevent the double vowel.
The compound P4O10 is a form of phosphorus oxide. These two elements can combine in a variety of different compounds. The compound P2O5 has the same ratio of phosphorus to oxygen and is more common.
The systematic name of this compound is Phosphorus(III) Oxide.
Tetraphosphorus hexoxide
Tetraphosphorus decoxide.
Phosphorous Trioxide
The proper name for the compound P4O6 is Tetraphosphorus Hexoxide. It is also known as Phosphorus Trioxide.P = PhosphorusO = OxygenIts molar mass is 219.88 g mol−1

Using the rules of nomenclature for naming binary molecular compounds, this compound would be named phosphorus monoxide. However, I don't believe this compound actually exists. There are other phosphorus and oxygen binary compounds, however, such as P4O10 and P4O6, according to the Webelements website.
4 moles of H3PO3 (phosphorous acid) out of 1 mole P4O6 and 6 H2O: very exothermic reaction, DDTAH!!
Tetraphosphorus hexoxide
It is a molecular (covalent) compound. Present day text books refer to a covalent compound as a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic one.

+5 for each P, -2 for each O
P2O3.Just divide the number by the common factor to get the empirical formula, which is actually the lowest common ratio of the atoms in the compound.
