(a) Bond angle in `PH_(4)^(+)` is higher than that in `PH_(3)`. Why?
(b) What is formed when `PH_(3)` reacts with an acid?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Although in both of the species, phosphorus is `sp^(3)`, but `PH_(3)` has line pair of electron, thus lp-bp repulsion decrease the angle from `109^(@)28'`.
