Answer:atomic inversion in case of ammonia is
faster than in phosphene.
Explanation:The gist of it is that because nitrogen is smaller and lighter than phosphorus, the rate of tunnelling and hence inversion of chirality is much faster. ... Now, NH3 and PH3 are both 8 valence electron species. This means that the HOMO will be the 2a1 orbital in C3v symmetry, which becomes the a″2 orbital in D3h symmetry
