What would happen if the element phosphorus didnt exist?

If phosphorus didn't exist, many biological processes would be significantly impaired as phosphorus is essential for energy transfer, DNA and RNA production, and bone formation in living organisms. This would have a cascading effect on ecosystems and inhibit the growth and development of many organisms. Additionally, many important compounds such as ATP, which is vital for cell energy, would not be able to function properly.


Why cant ph5 phosphorus pentahydride exist?

This compound could possibly exist, but it would be very unstable towards decomposition to PH3 and H2. One could propose either an ionic (PH4+H-) or covalent structure for this compound. The covalent structure would involve an expanded valence shell involving d2sp3 hybrid orbitals. For phosphorus, valence shell expansion is usually favored by bonding to electronegative elements such as halogens. Since hydrogen is of similar electronegativity to phosphorus, this covalent structure would not be favored. Concerning the possible ionic structure, the hydrogen atoms bonded to PH4+ have some protic character. Therefore they would readily react with the hydride ion to form H2. If PH5 could be made, it would be stable only at very low temperatures under very high pressures.


Does PH5 have bond polarity?

Yes, PH5 has bond polarity because phosphorus and hydrogen have different electronegativities, resulting in a partial positive charge on hydrogen and a partial negative charge on phosphorus within the molecule.
