In PH 3 the lone pair of electrons is present in spherical non directional more concentrated s-orbital where as lone pair of electrons is present in directional sp 3 hybrid orbital. As a result, the ease of donation of lone pair of electron is more in NH 3 as compare to PH 3 .
It is incorrect statement.
3CuSO 4 + 2PH 3 ⎯→ Cu 3 P 2 (black ppt) + H 2 SO 4
PH 3 + O 2 ⎯→ Dense white fumes of P 4 O 10 . H 3 PO 4 is negligibly formed.
