Is PF3 a compound or element?

Answer 1

Yes. It is Phosphorus Trifluoride.

Uh, no. Phosphorus and fluoride are both nonmetals and both form anions. Thus, PF3 is a molecular compound. Also, that PF3 is called phosphorus TRIfluoride should indicate to you that it is a molecular compound, because only molecular compounds have prefixes.

Answer 2

Yes, PH3 is an ionic compound because there are multiple covalently bonded molecules/atoms (the 3 hydrogens and the phosphorus). As a matter of fact, it is a polyatomic ion. Poly as in more than two actual molecules/atoms (not as in two types).
