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?
PH5 does not exist. If it did, the bonds would possible be polar as there is an electrnegativivty difference between P and H. PH3 does exist and will have bond polarity.
Is PH5 a polar molecule?
PH5 doesn't actually exist as a stable molecule. However, if one imagines it to have the same geometry as PF5 (namely trigonal bipyramidal), then by symmetry PH5 would be non-polar.
What is the bond angle of PH5?
slightly less than 109.5 deg.
What happens if you dilute pH5 with water what would the answer be?
It will go down by 1 or 2 i think because water is pH 7 and pH7-pH5=2
Is an acid of pH5 stronger than an acid of pH1?
Yes
What is the formula for pentahydride?
I am pretty sure it is PH5 P=Phosphorus (charge of three) H= Hydrogen (charge of one) Penta= charge of 5 since it's Pentahydride, penta=5(takes Phosphorus' place of charge on hydrogen) Since Hydrogen has a charge of one, it doesn't show on Phosphorus

Pcl5 is formed but Ncl5 is not formed why?
NCl5 does not exist bcoz nitrogen atom does not have d-orbitals to accomodate electrons from chlorine atoms and nitrogen cant accomodate more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. so its covalency exists only upto four.... pcl5 exists bcoz phosphorus atom has vacant d orbitals to accomodate electrons and thus pcl5 exists
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen phosphate?
Hydrogen Phosphate is HPO42-Monohydrogen phophate is HPO42-, while dihydrogen phosphate is H2PO4-H3PO4 is the molecule formula of phosphoric acid.
What happens if you dilute pH5 with water what would the answer be?
It will go down by 1 or 2 i think because water is pH 7 and pH7-pH5=2
What is the fram filter equivalent of a ac pf1218?
PH5
