the reason is given that the orbitals in PH₃ are more or less at right angles to each other....so....the orbitals are pure

now thats a strange reason but a similar question came in iit jee 09

" In ammonia there are 3 bond pairs and one lone pair.The repulsion between lone pair and bond pair always exceeds that repulsion between two bond pairs.Thus the bond angles are reduced from 109^o27' to 107^o48',and the regualar tetrahedral shape is slightly distorted.
The hydrides PH₃,AsH₃ and SbH₃ would be expected to be similar.However,the bond pairs of electrons are much further away from the central atom than they are in NH₃.Thus he lone pair causes even greater distortion in the other hydrides.Th bond angle decreases to 91^o18'.These bond angles suggest that the orbitals used for bonding are close to pure p-orbitals." - JD LEE
