Clindamycin is indicated in the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria.
Confidence votes 297. 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.ou 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 covalent â¦ ly. That lone pair causes a lot of distortion and you end up with the pyramid shape.
In this case there are three groups of electrons around the central atom and the molecualr geometry of the molecule is defined accordingly. The term electron-pair geometry is the name of the geometry of the electron-pair/groups/domains on the central atom, whether they are bonding or non-bonding. Molecular geometry is the name of the geometry used to describe the shape of a molecule. The electron-pair geometry provides a guide to the bond angles of between a terminal-central-terminal atom in a compound. The molecular geometry is the shape of the molecule. So when asked to describe the shape of a molecule we must respond with a molecular geometry. If asked for the electron-pair geometry on the central atom we must respond with the electron-pair geometry.
