Dear Jagadish,
Hybridization of PH3 is sp3 and the bond angle is 93degrees.This is because
Phosphorous(P) has 3 bond pairs and a lone pair that gives it a SP3
hybridisation .
Plz... Hit "like"

we donot talk about hybridisation of PH3 acc. to Drago''s rule.

Phosphorus uses pure p-orbitals to form PH3.There is no hybridisation in this molecule.

In PH3 no hybridisation occur because for hybridisation we have to give some energy suppose H1 and after forming compound it realise H2 energy H1-H2 is energy of formation of compound by hybridized orbitalsIf this compound form by pure atomic orbital of central atom then it realise H3 energy here enthalpy of formation by pure orbitals is -H3if -H3
