Yes
Trigonal Pyramidal
The parent structure of PH3 is trigonal pyramidal. It consists of a central phosphorus atom with three hydrogen atoms bonded to it, giving it a pyramidal shape.
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.
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
PCL5: Trigonal bipyramidal shape PH3: Trigonal pyramidal shape OF2: Bent shape ClO4-: Tetrahedral shape
The molecular shape of HCOOH is trigonal planar, I believe...
The bond angle in PH4 is higher than PH3 because PH4 has a tetrahedral molecular geometry with bond angles of about 109.5 degrees, while PH3 has a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry with bond angles of about 107 degrees. This difference in bond angles is due to the presence of an additional hydrogen atom in PH4 compared to PH3.
The shape is trigonal pyramidal Polarity is non-polar
Yes. PH3 is a trigonal pyramidalk structure like ammonia with a lone pair. There is an electronegtaivity difference between P and H and the bond dipoles and the lone pair contribution all give a smallish dipole moent,
In having three hydrogens attached to a phosphorous atom the arrangement is forced as the lone pairs must be kept as far from each other as possible, thus the geometry here.
