Bent (v-shaped)
Note how many electrons you have:
P=5
H=1 (x2)=2
=>adding 5+2=7
BUT since you have an one negative charge, then that means that you have an extra electron making the molecule more negative, therefore, you add one more electron to our previous sum.
7+1=8
having a total of 8 electrons.
Then, Phosphorus is our central atom, with 1 bond per hydrogen (so 2 bonds), which equals to 4 electrons, then we have 4 more left, then we simply add them to the Phosphorus. And this creates the V-shape.

∙ 14y agoThe question makes no sense, but p orbitals are two lobes in each of the 3 dimensions, one lobe being geometrically positive, one negative. The lobes are tear-drop shaped.

The central atom in PH3 is surrounded by?
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
What is the molar mass of PH3?
the formula is C18H15P therefore the molecular weight is 262.29
What is the difference between phosphine gas and phosgene gas?
Phosphine (spelled with 's' in 4th position) is phosphorus trihydride, PH3 (compare NH3).It is a colorless, flammable, toxic gas.Pure phosphine is odourless, but technical grade samples have a highly unpleasant odor like garlic or rotting fish, due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphine (P2H4)Phosgene is carbonyl dichloride, COCl2,This very toxic, colorless gas.It gained infamy as a chemical weapon duringWorld War I. In low concentrations, its odor resembles freshly cut hay or grass.
Molecular shape of PH3?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
What is the molecular shape of ph3 ch4 hclo n2 ch3nh2 h2co C2H2 CH3Cl HCOOH HCn H2O2?
The molecular shape of HCOOH is trigonal planar, I believe...
What type of solid will Ph3 form?
Molecular
What is the molecular geometry of PH3?
Trigonal Pyramidal
What is the molecular formula of phosphine?
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.
The central atom in PH3 is surrounded by?
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
Which molecules of ions has a bent shape out of ClO4 PH3 OF2 PCl5?
BeCl2
Which compound is more like an ionic compound NH3 or PH3?
No. They are covalent/molecular compounds.
What is the hybridization of PH3?
The hybridization of PH3 is sp3
Ph3 acid or not?
PH3 is an acid.It is a flammable substance.
Which acids would be stronger pH3 or pH5?
pH3. It is more acidic
What is PH3 shape name?
its a trigonal pyramid but it can also be tetrahedral because it has a lone pair of electron bonded to the centrel atom (P)
