Phosphine is a colorless toxic gas. It is a hydride of phosphorus. The chemical formula of this compound is PH3. On the other hand, Silane is also a colorless, pyrophoric, toxic gas with a sharp, repulsive smell. It is also a hydride of silicone. The chemical formula of this compound is SiH,. According to the VSEPR model, provide comments, on the arrangement of electron pairs around PH3 and SİH. Select one: O a. Since both phosphorus and silicone are in the second period, and making hydride, therefore same electron pairs arrangement around the central atom. O b. In each case, the numbers of electron pairs around the central atom are same, therefore same electron pairs arrangement around the central atom. O c. Electron pairs arrangement around the central atom (different or the same), depending on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion and we don't have that information therefore can not comments. d. In each case there are a different number of electron pairs around the central atom, therefore different electron pairs arrangement around the central atom. In each case there are a different number of atoms around the central atom, therefore different tron pairs arrangement around the central atom.

Phosphine is a colorless toxic gas. It is a hydnde of phosphorus. The chemical formula of this compound is
PH3. On the other hand, Silane is also a colorless, pyrophoric, toxic gas with a sharp, repulsive smell. It is also
a hydride of silicone. The chemical formula of this compound is SiH. According to the VSEPR model,
provide comments, on the arrangement of electron pairs around PH, and SiH.
Select one:
O a.
Since both phosphorus and silicone are in the second period, and making hydride, therefore same
electron pairs arrangement around the central atom.
In each case, the numbers of electron pairs around the central atom are same, therefore same electron
pairs arrangement around the central atom.
O c. Electron pairs arrangement around the central atom (different or the same), depending on the
conditions leading to maximum repulsion and we don't have that information therefore can not
comments..
O d.
In each case there are a different number of electron pairs around the central atom, therefore different
electron pairs arrangement around the central atom.
In each case there are a different number of atoms around the central atom, therefore different
tron pairs arrangement around the central atom.
