Step 1: Identify the elements in the compound. In this case, the compound is phosphorus trihydride, which contains the elements phosphorus and hydrogen.
Step 2: The prefix 'tri' in 'trihydride' indicates that there are three atoms of hydrogen for every atom of phosphorus.
Step 3: Write the symbol for each element, followed by the number of atoms of that element in the compound. The symbol for phosphorus is 'P' and the symbol for hydrogen is 'H'.
Step 4: The number of atoms is written as a subscript after the element symbol. Since there is one atom of phosphorus and three atoms of hydrogen, the chemical formula is written as P1H3.
Step 5: If the subscript is 1, it is usually omitted. So, the final chemical formula for phosphorus trihydride, or phosphine, is PH3.
