PH3
PH3
A PH3 molecule contains 4 atoms: 1 phosphorus and 3 hydrogen.
PCL3
Yes elements with variable valency can be stored in water. example Phosphorus.

A PH3 molecule contains 4 atoms: 1 phosphorus and 3 hydrogen.
If it is PH3 then it is Phosphine , hydride of element Phosphorus and if it is Ph3 then it is short way to write the phenyl group (C6H5-) but it means three phenyl rings are attached to any trivalent atom as phosphorus, P(Ph)3
phosphorus and hydrogen (x3)
PCL3
+5
Valence of phosphorus: 3, 5 or 6.
You have mistaken Phosphate for Phosphorus. Phosphorus is in Group 5 of the periodic table. Group 5 elements generally have a valency of 3, but it is also possible for them to have a valency of 5... Below are two examples of compounds, one using Phosphorus with valency 5 (V) and one using Phosphorus valency 3 (III) : Phosphate (phosphorus with maximum oxygen) This is formed by Phosphorus (V) + 4 Oxygen. Oxygen has valency -2, thus... 5 + 4 x -2 = 5 - 8 = -3 So we can see that Phosphate has a charge of -3 (or in other words a valency of 3) Phosphite (phosphorus with one less than maximum oxygen) This is formed by Phosphorus (III) + 3 Oxygen, and so... 3 + 3 x -2 = 3 - 6 = -3 So we can see that Phosphite also has a valency of 3 Hope this helps!
PH3
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
