PH3 (Phosphine) would be a P atom, with 5 crosses around its shell. Then three H atoms would be attached to it, with one atom per cross. This should leave two crosses free. Then, in each H atom, draw a dot, but make sure its also touching the P atom.

BCl3 (Boron TriChloride) would be a B atom, with 3 crosses on its shell. Then, one Cl atom per cross. On each Cl atom, draw 7 dots, with one each touching the B atom.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Related Questions

Is BCl3 polar or non-polar?

BCl3 is non-polar. This is because the molecule is symmetrical and the three B-Cl bonds are arranged in a trigonal planar geometry with 120-degree bond angles, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero.


Ph3 acid or not?

PH3 is an acid.It is a flammable substance.


What is the oxidation number of PH3?

The oxidation number of phosphorus in PH3 is -3.


What is the chemical formula for phosphorus hydrogen?

The chemical formula for phosphorus hydrogen is PH3.


What is the chemical symbol for phosphorus hydride?

The chemical symbol for phosphorus hydride is PH3.


Is PH3 symmetric?

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.


How many atoms does the formula PH3 have?

The formula PH3 represents one phosphorus atom and three hydrogen atoms. Therefore, PH3 has a total of four atoms.


Is PH3 is stronger than NH3?

PH3 (phosphine) is considered to be a weaker base compared to NH3 (ammonia) because the electronegativity of phosphorus is greater than nitrogen, making the lone pair on phosphorus less available for donation. This results in NH3 being a stronger base than PH3.


What type of solid will Ph3 form?

Phosphine (PH3) forms a molecular solid in which individual PH3 molecules are held together by weak van der Waals forces.


Is PH3 a Lewis acid or base?

It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!


Is Ph3 a pyramidal?

Yes


What is the systematic name for PH3?

It contains a lone pair of electrons. Hence, it can donate it thereby ,its a base. The tendency to donate the electron pairs can determine the basicity of a base. Therefore, PF3 is less basic than PH3.
