Ammonia is soluble in water but phosphine is not because it participate in H-bonding in water.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Ammonia molecule has the capability to form a dative bond due to the lone pair of electrons. ... Thus, the H-Bond is weak and it is only slightly soluble. Phosphine dissolves more readily in non-polar solvents than in water because of the non-polar P-H bonds but water is polar in nature.
