PH(3) has lower boiling point than NH(3)...

`PH_(3)` has lower boiling point than `NH_(3)` . Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding among the molecules of `NH_(3)` , they remain associated in liquid state.
On the contrary, `PH_(3)` molecules are not associated through intermolecular hydrogen bonding in liquid state. That is why, the boiling point of `PH_(3)` is lower than that of `NH_(3)`
