Bond angle in is PH_4^+ higher than that inPH_3 |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :The HYBRIDISATION of P in both `PH_3` and `PH_4^+` is `sp^3.PH_3`CONTAINS THREE bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons. DUE to lone pair-bond pair repulsion, the bond angle is less than the tetrahedral angle in `PH_3`. But in `PH_4^+`there are four bond pairs and no lone pair. So its bond ,angle is almost the same as that of tetrahedral angle. |
