Phosphorous trisulfide (PS3) is a covalent compound.
P4O6 is covalent; both phosphorous and oxygen are nonmetals, making it unlikely that either would donate electrons to the other.
Phosphorus trichloride is a polar compound.
Phosphorous will make a covalent bond, for example in the widely used neutral ligand, triphenyl phosphorous (PPh3).Some of the covalent complexes are charged, for example phosphate (PO4-3) however the phosphorous itself is covalently bound.
P4O10 is a covalent compound. This is because Phosphorous and Oxygen are both nonmetals.
Phosphorous trisulfide (PS3) is a covalent compound.
tricalcium phosphate is an ionic compound do to the fact that it is the bonding of a metal and a nonmetal. it is usually only a molecular compound if it is a bond between two nonmetals such as oxygen and hydrogen.
As a non-metal Phosphorous can form ionic compouds with metals and covalent compounds with other non-metals.

Sodium combines with phosphorus to form sodium phosphide (Na3P) which is an ionic compound.
PCl5 is covalent in the vapour phase with a trigonal biyramidal shape. It is ionic in the solid consisting of PCl4+ PCl6- In solution it can be covalent or ionic depending on the solvent.
NH3
It is called Phosphorous Trihydride. Also known as phosphine.
Yes, they are covalent
