Ph4+ Geometry
What is the molecular geometry of PH4 +? 3
They:
Flat triangle
Curved turn
Tetrahedral
Triangular pyramid
Curved tetrahedron
I think tetrahedral but not sure.
Well, Psrous is in group 5, so it has 5 valence electrons. It has 4 hydrogen atoms attached, which add 4 possibilities, so now it has 5, but it has only 8 because it has +1 charge. So there are 8 non-selectors and 4 pairs of electrons. It has 4 bonds, so there are 4 pairs of bonding electrons. So it has 4 pairs of bonds, but no single pair, so it's a tetrahedral shape with a bond angle of 109.5 degrees.
