NH3 is not liquid but gas at STP. It is however very well soluble in water, solution called ammonia.

Is PH3 is stronger than NH3?

Neither PH3 nor NH3 are acids. They are both bases. NH3 is the stronger base


Why does PH3 have a higher vapor pressure then NH3?

PH3 has a higher vapor pressure than NH3 because the PH3 has weaker attractive forces. Therefore, PH3 also boils lower than NH3.


What is the chemical formula for trihydrogen mononitride?

This is ammonia, NH3.


Why pure NH3 does not burn in air but impure PH3 burn in air?

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


Which compound is more like an ionic compound NH3 or PH3?

No. They are covalent/molecular compounds.


Is ammonia a solid liquid or gas at 20 degrees Celsius?

Ammonia (NH3) is a (very 'water' soluble) gas


What is ammonia gas?

Ammonia (NH3) is a gas normally, the boiling point of liquid ammonia is -33 C at atmospheric pressure, but it can be stored as liquid at high pressure. Household ammonia is in fact a solution of NH3 in water. Early lasers (which were called Masers at the time) used ammonia gas for power.

Why is bond angle in ph3 less than that in nh3?

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.


What turns anhydrous ammonia to liquid?
