Is PH3 a ionic or covalent bond?
Neither. It is hydrogeneous.
What type of bond is found in ph3?
covalent non-polar because the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and phosphine is very slighthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarityhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity
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 HP an ionic or covalent bond?
The bond between P and H is covalent, eg in PH3
Why is bond angle in ph3 less than that in nh3?
Both PH3 and NH3 have 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons around the central atom, and so are both trigonal pyramidal in shape. The bond angle in NH3 is less than 109.5º and that in PH3 is less than that in NH3 (maybe around 109º). The reason for this has to due with electronegativity. The N atom is more electronegative than the P atom and thus electron density of N's bonding electrons are closer to the N, and so they exert a greater repulsion on each other. This greater repulsion compared to that seen PH3 makes the bond angle slighter greater in NH3. P being less electronegative than N doesn't draw it's electrons as close so they don't repel as much.
Is PH3 a ionic or covalent bond?
Neither. It is hydrogeneous.
Why is the bond angle in PH4 higher than PH3?
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.

Which of these substances has a Lewis formula incorporating a double bond SbH3 HCl NH3 AsH3 PH3 HF CSe CS H2CO H2O?
HCl, NH3, PH3, HF, CS, H2CO, H2O have Lewis formulas that do not incorporate a double bond. CS2 has a Lewis formula with a double bond between the C and S atoms.

Which of the compounds NaH Ph3 CH4 IBr3 are ionic compounds?
NaH and IBr3 are ionic compounds. NaH is composed of a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (H), creating an ionic bond. IBr3 is also an ionic compound as it contains a metal (I) and a nonmetal (Br) forming an ionic bond. Ph3 and CH4 are covalent compounds as they involve sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.
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.
Does PH3 have dipole moment?
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,
What is the chemical symbol for phosphorus hydride?
The chemical symbol for phosphorus hydride is PH3.
