2a. Based on ONLY on the number of electrons, mark on the graph the predicted boiling point of PH3 for its number of electrons. Label it clearly. Show your prediction to a TA and ask for the 1st information sheet. b. In your first information sheet, look at the measured boiling points of the Group 15/VA hydrides. How does the BP of PH3 compare to what you predicted on the graph? c. Hence does boiling point depend only on the number of electrons? How do you know? If not, what could explain the discrepancy?

2 and all its parts 

2a. Based on ONLY on the number of electrons, mark on the graph the predicted boiling point of PH3 for
its number of electrons. Label it clearly. Show your prediction to a TA and ask for the 1st information
sheet.
b. In your first information sheet, look at the measured boiling points of the Group 15/VA hydrides.
How does the BP of PH3 compare to what you predicted on the graph?
c. Hence does boiling point depend only on the number of electrons? How do you know? If not, what
could explain the discrepancy?
