Similarly, phosphorus occurs directly beneath nitrogen in the periodic table and therefore often exhibits a valence of three. Again, structures with an expanded valence, having five bonds to the phosphorus, are common, especially when the extra bonds are to oxygen. This book is not concerned with all the possible sulfur and phosphorus compounds, nor does it spend much time on their nomenclature. Instead, it concentrates on those of most importance in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Let s begin with a discussion of some common sulfur compounds.
