Which of the following has least covalent $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{H}$ bond?

Which of the following has least covalent $\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{H}$ bond?
  1. $\mathrm{PH}_{6}^{+}$
  2. $\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}$
  3. $\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}$
  4. $\mathrm{PH}_{3}$

Solution

In $\mathrm{PH}_{6}^{+}, \mathrm{P}-\mathrm{H}$ bond will have ionic character due to electron attracting tendency of P-carrying positive charge and least covalent. ,
