NH3 is not liquid but gas at STP. It is however very well soluble in water, solution called ammonia.
Neither PH3 nor NH3 are acids. They are both bases. NH3 is the stronger base
PH3 has a higher vapor pressure than NH3 because the PH3 has weaker attractive forces. Therefore, PH3 also boils lower than NH3.
This is ammonia, NH3.
No. They are covalent/molecular compounds.
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.

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

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

3 H2 + N2 = 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.
Anhydrous Ammonia (aka, NH3, Refrigeration Grade) can be turned into a liquid by either intense cooling or by compressing the gas.
