Observe the following statements :
a. The thermal stability of hydrides of group 16 elements follow the order :
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}\)
b. Acidic nature of hydrides of group 16 elements follow the order :
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}\)
c. The reducing nature of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2\) Te follow the order :
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}\)
