Neither PH3 nor NH3 are acids.
They are both bases. NH3 is the stronger base
PH3 has a higher vapor pressure than NH3 due to the larger size and greater molecular weight of phosphorus compared to nitrogen. This results in weaker van der Waals forces between PH3 molecules, allowing them to escape and become a gas more easily than NH3 molecules.
Both PH3 and NH3 have 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons around the central atom, and so are both trigonal pyramidal in shape. The bond angle in NH3 is less than 109.5º and that in PH3 is less than that in NH3 (maybe around 109º). The reason for this has to due with electronegativity. The N atom is more electronegative than the P atom and thus electron density of N's bonding electrons are closer to the N, and so they exert a greater repulsion on each other. This greater repulsion compared to that seen PH3 makes the bond angle slighter greater in NH3. P being less electronegative than N doesn't draw it's electrons as close so they don't repel as much.
No, a lower pH value indicates a stronger acid. Therefore, pH 3 is stronger than pH 4.
NH3 is more like an ionic compound compared to PH3 because ammonia (NH3) displays some characteristics of ionic bonding due to its ability to accept and donate protons, while phosphine (PH3) has predominantly covalent bonding due to similar electronegativities of phosphorus and hydrogen.
The lower the pH value, the stronger the acid. Therefore, pH 3 is stronger than pH 5. pH 3 has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, making it a more acidic solution than pH 5.

With traces of P2H4 present, PH3 is spontaneously flammable in air

NH3 is basic while BiH3 is only feebly basic because: 1) the atomic size of N is less than Bi.ther fore it has smaller size than Bi. 2)the electron density of N is much more than Bi due to small size. 3)therfore because of small size and high electronegativity of N the tendancy to donate its lone pair of electon in NH3 will be much higher than Bi in BIh3.
NH3 (ammonia) is a liquid at room temperature due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding that holds ammonia molecules together. PH3 (phosphine) is a gas at room temperature because its intermolecular forces are weaker, resulting in lower boiling point compared to NH3.
Ammonia (NH3) is more polar than water (H2O) due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, which leads to a stronger dipole moment in NH3.
The shape is trigonal pyramidal Polarity is non-polar
The boiling point of AsH3 (Arsine) is higher than that of PH3 (Phosphine) due to the higher molecular weight of AsH3 compared to PH3. Stronger Van der Waals forces of attraction between molecules in AsH3 result in higher boiling point.
Phosphine (PH3) is a stronger reducing agent than ammonia (NH3) because phosphorus is less electronegative than nitrogen, making it easier for phosphorus to donate electrons. This leads to phosphine being more readily oxidized and exhibiting stronger reducing properties compared to ammonia. Additionally, phosphine has a weaker P-H bond compared to the N-H bond in ammonia, which contributes to its stronger reducing ability.
