One carbon to two hydrogen to one oxygen
This is because the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another is very inefficient. This is why the energy illustration of an ecosystem is more or less a pyramid structure. Only approximately 10% of biomass energy consumed by one level become biomass in the upper trophic level. The rest is lost as heat energy. This means the higher up the trophic level the fewer the organisms will be.
The product is called phosphine, and it has a Lewis diagram similar to that of ammonia. The diagram shows a single pair of electron shared between each hydrogen molecule and the phosphorus molecule. One electron is from the hydrogen while the other is from phosphorus.
Because phosphorus has 5 valence shell electrons, the remaining two electrons exist as a lone pair. Using this information, the Lewis structure of phosphine can be imagined and drawn.
