Type of Bonding Question
I was looking through some past papers for chemistry and I came across this question:
Phosphine (PH3) reacts to form phosphonium ions (PH4+). Give name of the type of bond formed when phosphine react with an H+ ion.
I would also like an explanation of how you came to the conclusion as I got a general idea in my head but I'm not really sure if it's covalent or ionic.

Dative covalent because 2 electrons are being shared both coming from phosporus.

Thank you very much.

By the way, do you by any chance know why the bond angels are exactly 120 degrees in BCL3?

3 negatively charged Cl- repel each other - try to be as far away from each other as possible (360/3=120).

Coordinate covalent bond.
Tip: remember to always state that it is a covalent bond.
