    if elements of group 15 other than N show pyramidl inversion????

    No in case of other elements inversion barrier is larger so...generally ammonia and its derivatives show pyramidal inversion

    yes, PH3 can show but it's very slowly due to large energy barrier

    pyramidal inversion is also known as nitrogen inversion....Molecule containing nitrogen and pyramidal in shape show pyramidal inversion

    pyramidal inversion is a fluxional process in compounds with a pyramidal molecule, such as ammonia (NH3) "turns inside out".[1][2] It is a rapid oscillation of the atom and substituents, the molecule or ion passing through a planar transition state.[3] For a compound that would otherwise be chiral due to a stereocenter, pyramidal inversion allows its enantiomers to racemize
