`PH_(3)` forms bubbles when passed slowly in water but `NH_(3)` dissolves. Explain why ? In `PCl_(5)` Phosphorus is in `sp^(3)`d hybridised state but all its five bonds are not equivalent. Justify your answer with reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dissoiution of `NH_(3)` and `PH_(3)` in water can be explained on the basis of H- bonding `NH_(3)` forms H- bond with water so it soluble but `PH_(3)` does not form H- bond with water so it remains as gas and forms bubble in water.

Lewis concept of covalency of an element involved octet rule .Later on it was found that many elements in their compoinds e.g, BeF_2,BF_3 etc . Have incomplete octet whereas PCl_5 ,SF_6 etc , have expanded octet . This classical conept also failed in predicting the geometry of molecules .Modern concept of covalence was propsed in terms of valence bond theory proposed by Heitler and London and later on modified by Pauling nad Slater . Hybridisation concept alongwith valence bond theory although successfully explained the geometry of various molecules but failed in many molecules . the geometry of such molecules was explained by VSEPR concept . Finally molecular orbital theory was porosed by Hund -Mulliken to explain many other anomalies .. Which statements are correct ? (1) Bond angle of PF_(3) gt PCl_(3) . (2) Bond angle of PCl_(3) lt PBr_(3) (3) (CH_(3))_(3)N is pyramidal whereas (SiH_(3))_(3)N is planar but both shows sp^(3) -hybridisation. (4) Multiple bonds also influence the geometry of molecule and thus C_(2)H_(2) has angleHCH=160^(@) and angleHCO=122^(@) (5) PCl_(5) is super-octet molecule
