What type of solid is CH4?

CH4 is a molecular solid. In this solid form, methane molecules are held together by intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces, to form a solid structure.


Why does phosphorus form 3 bonds in molecules with PH3 and PCl3?

Phosphorus can form 3 bonds in PH3 and PCl3 because it has 5 valence electrons in the outer shell. By forming 3 covalent bonds, phosphorus completes its octet and achieves stability. This allows phosphorus to satisfy the octet rule and form a stable molecule.


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.


How are electrons are gained or lost?

Phophorus is in group 15, it has 5 electrons in its outer shell, 3s23p3. When it forms chemical compounds it can share electrons to form covalent bonds or gain 3 electrons to form the P3- phosphide anion, which is known in some solid compounds but not in water, where it reacts to form PH3 phosphine (or phosphane as sometimes called).
