Phosphine, or PH3, has (quite obviously) three hydrogen atoms singly bonded to a phosphorus atom. Because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons, the phosphorus atom is sp3 hybridized, and the electron orbitals adopt a tetrahedral configuration. As mentioned earlier, one orbital is non-bonding and thus the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.
