You might think trigonal planar, but it's actually trigonal pyramidal. Remember that phosphorus (like nitrogen) ends up with a lone pair when it bonds to three things covalently. That lone pair causes a lot of distortion and you end up with the pyramid shape.

What is the compound name of H3P?
It is technically PH3, and it is called Phosphine
What is the hybridization of PH3?
The hybridization of PH3 is sp3
Ph3 acid or not?
PH3 is an acid.It is a flammable substance.
Which acids would be stronger pH3 or pH5?
pH3. It is more acidic
Why does PH3 have a higher vapor pressure then NH3?
PH3 has a higher vapor pressure than NH3 because the PH3 has weaker attractive forces. Therefore, PH3 also boils lower than NH3.
What is the compound name of H3P?

What is the hybridization of PH3?
The hybridization of PH3 is sp3
Ph3 acid or not?
PH3 is an acid.It is a flammable substance.
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.
Which acids would be stronger pH3 or pH5?
pH3. It is more acidic
Why does PH3 have a higher vapor pressure then NH3?
PH3 has a higher vapor pressure than NH3 because the PH3 has weaker attractive forces. Therefore, PH3 also boils lower than NH3.
Is PH3 is stronger than NH3?
Neither PH3 nor NH3 are acids. They are both bases. NH3 is the stronger base
What is trihydrogen phosphide?
This is just another name referring to a compound known as Phosphine = PH3
What is the correct name for the compound PH3?
It is called Phosphorous Trihydride. Also known as phosphine.
What is the chemical formula for trihydrogen mononitride?
This is ammonia, NH3.
Is Ph3 a pyramidal?
Yes
How many atoms in molecule ph3?
A PH3 molecule contains 4 atoms: 1 phosphorus and 3 hydrogen.
