In having three hydrogens attached to a phosphorous atom the arrangement is forced as the lone pairs must be kept as far from each other as possible, thus the geometry here.

What is the molecular geometry of PH3?
Trigonal Pyramidal
Molecular shape of PH3?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
How many times a solution of ph3 be diluted to get a solution of ph6?
1000 times more dilute
How would you balance P plus NaOH plus H2O equals?
P + Na(OH) + H20 = NaH2PO2 + PH3
What acts as an acid in the following reaction NH 3 plus PH 3 - NH 2- plus PH 4 plus?
As you have it written NH3 donates a proton to the solution and this hydrogen ion is picked up by PH3 to make PH4; so NH3 is the acid here. ( though this reaction seems odd to me )
What is the molecular geometry of PH3?

Molecular shape of PH3?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
What is the molecular formula of phosphine?
Phosphine, or PH3, has (quite obviously) three hydrogen atoms singly bonded to a phosphorus atom. Because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons, the phosphorus atom is sp3 hybridized, and the electron orbitals adopt a tetrahedral configuration. As mentioned earlier, one orbital is non-bonding and thus the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.
Is Ph3 a pyramidal?
Yes
What is the molecular shape of ph3 ch4 hclo n2 ch3nh2 h2co C2H2 CH3Cl HCOOH HCn H2O2?
The molecular shape of HCOOH is trigonal planar, I believe...
Why is phosphine non polar?
The shape is trigonal pyramidal Polarity is non-polar
The central atom in PH3 is surrounded by?
A PH3 molecule has a triangular pyramidal shape. The central atom is the Phosphorus atom, which is connected to three Hydrogen atoms.
What type of solid will Ph3 form?
Molecular
What molecule or ion has a linear shape?
PH3 forms a trigonal pyramid ClO4- forms a perfectly regular trigonal pyramid, known as a tetrahedron BeCl2 ~APEX
What is the name for PH3?
You might think trigonal planar, but it's actually trigonal pyramidal. Remember that phosphorus (like nitrogen) ends up with a lone pair when it bonds to three things covalently. That lone pair causes a lot of distortion and you end up with the pyramid shape.
What is PH3 shape name?
its a trigonal pyramid but it can also be tetrahedral because it has a lone pair of electron bonded to the centrel atom (P)
Does PH3 have dipole moment?
Yes. PH3 is a trigonal pyramidalk structure like ammonia with a lone pair. There is an electronegtaivity difference between P and H and the bond dipoles and the lone pair contribution all give a smallish dipole moent,
