The lone pair repels the electrons of the adjacent bonds more so than does a bonding pair of electrons, so thus alters the molecular geometry of the molecule.
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
The lone pair forces bonding atoms away from itself
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
A lone pair of electrons can affect the molecular shape by repelling bonded pairs of electrons, causing distortions in the molecule's geometry. This can lead to changes in bond angles and overall molecular shape.
It takes up space like an "invisible" atom.
The shape would be pyramidal because of the lone pair nitrogen has
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
No, PH3 is not symmetric. The molecule has a pyramidal shape due to the lone pair on the central phosphorus atom. This asymmetry contributes to the overall molecular geometry of PH3.
