Answer:
The molecular shape and ideal bond angle of the is trigonalbipyramidal and
respectively.
Explanation:
The structure of is as follows.(in attachment)
From the structure,
Phosphor atom has one lone pair and three hydrogens are bonded by six electrons.
Therefore, total electrons invovled in the formation is eight.
Hence, four electron groups which indicate the tetrahedral shape. But one pair is lone pair i.e, present on the phosphor atom.
Therefore, ideal geometry of the molecule is <u>Trigonalbipyramidal.</u>
The ideal angle of trigonalbipyrmidal is .
All three bonds of P-H has .
Therefore, ideal bond angle is <u>.</u>
