Hello there!

Greetings!

We have
Atomisation energy of PH3=3*BE(P-H)
=954


Then, BE(P-H)=954kJ/mol3=318 kJ/mol

Atomisation energy of P2H4=BE(P-H)*4+BE(P-P)

=1485 kJ/mol


Then, Atomisation energy of P2H4= 4*BE(P-H) +BE(P-P)
=1485

BE(P-P)= Atomisation energy of P2H4 - 4*BE(P-H)
=1485- 4*318=1485-1272
=213kJ/mol , so the correct option is A

Thankyou
