Nitrogen is highly electronegative as compared to phosphorus. This causes a greater attraction of electrons towards nitrogen in NH3 than towards phosphorus in PH3. Hence, the extent of hydrogen bonding in PH3 is very less as compared to NH3.

Answer:
Explanation:
It is known that electronegativity of nitrogen is very high as compared to that of phosphorus. So nitrogen is able to attract electrons more effectively as compared to phosphorus. This is why NH3 form hydrogen bond but PH3 don't.
