What are the total electron pairs in AsH3

Sagot :

AsH3 has five valence electrons, so the molecule will have 3 bonding domains and one non-bonding domain (lone pair) around the central atom. The geometry is trigonal pyramidal, and the angles are around 107 degrees. 

AsH3 and hydrogen are very close in electrongativity, so there really is no partial charges. There may be a slight electron pull towards hydrogen, but it would be nearly insignificant
