PH3 forms bubbles when passed slowly through water but NH3 gets dissolved in water, because: 

1. NH3 forms an H-bond with water, so it is soluble but PH3 does not form an H-bond.
2. NH3 does not form an H-bond with water, so it is soluble but PH3 does form an H-bond.
3. NH3 and PHboth form H-bond with water. 
4. NH3 and PHboth do not form H-bond with water.

Nitrogen dioxide is paramagnetic in a gaseous state but diamagnetic in solid because:

1. NO2 exists as a dimer in a gaseous as well as solid state.
2. NO2 exists as a monomer in a gaseous as well as solid state.
3. NO2 exists as a dimer in a gaseous state and it becomes a monomer in solid state.
4. NO2 exists as a monomer in a gaseous state and it becomes dimerized in solid state.
