lone pair-lone pair > bond pair-bond pair > bond pair-lone pair
bond pair-bond pair > lone pair-lone pair > lone pair-bond pair
lone pair-lone pair > lone pair-bond pair > bond pair-bond pair

SO2
60s - Q8
8) Why is the boiling point of PH3 lower than that of NH3?
Vander Waals’ forces are weaker in PH3 than in NH3
PH3 is not hydrogen bonded whereas NH3 is hydrogen bonded
PH3 is non-polar whereas NH3 is polar
The molar mass of PH3 is greater than that of NH3
