The H-P-H bond angle in PH3 is 93° but that in PH4+ is 109.5°. Why? |

Answer» hey mate... here is your answer... In PH4+, the HPH BOND angle is tetrahedral angle of 109.5° . But in PH3, the LONE pair-bond pair REPULSION is higher than bond pair-bond pair repulsion. Thus, the bond angle becomes less than 109.5°. hope it helps... |
