In what way can it be proved that `PH_(3)` is basic in nature ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`PH_(3)` reacts with acids like HI to form `PH_(4)` I which shows that it is basic in nature.
`PH_(3)+HI to PH_(4)I`
Due to lone pair on phosphorus atom, `PH_(3)` is acting as a Lewis base in the above reaction.
