`PH_(3)` forms bubbles when passed slowly in water but `NH_(3)` dissolves. Explain why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dissoiution of `NH_(3)` and `PH_(3)` in water can be explained on the basis of H- bonding `NH_(3)` forms H- bond with water so it soluble but `PH_(3)` does not form H- bond with water so it remains as gas and forms bubble in water.
