Elements of group-15, 16 and 17 form compounds with hydrogen with general formula MH3, \(H 2 M\) and HX (called hydrogen halides). Stability of these hydrides, along with M-H bond strength and basic nature decreases down the group. Boiling point of these hydrides mainly depends on the strength of their inter molecular forces.
Decreasing order of boiling point of group 15 hydrides is:
A. \(NH _3\)
B. \(PH _3\)
C. \(AsH _3\)
D. \(SbH _3\)
E. \(BiH _3\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A \(NH _3> PH _3> AsH _3> SbH _3> BiH _3\)
- B \(BiH _3> SbH _3> AsH _3> PH _3> NH _3\)
- C \(NH _3> BiH _3> SbH _3> AsH _3> PH _3\)
- D \(BiH _3> SbH _3> NH _3> AsH _3> PH _3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(BiH _3> SbH _3> NH _3> AsH _3> PH _3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hydrogen bonding in \(NH_3\) leads to a higher boiling point. Boiling points of \(PH_3\), \(AsH_3\), \(SbH_3\), \(BiH_3\) increase with increasing molecular mass due to stronger Van der Waals forces. Decreasing order of boiling point: \(BiH_3 > SbH_3 > NH_3 > AsH_3 > PH_3\).

Productivity in the Ecosystem
The flow of energy through a terrestrial ecosystem starts with the harnessing of sunlight by autotrophs. The radiant energy is converted by photosynthesis to organic compounds is known as productivity. The productivity is expressed in units of energy per unit of area per unit time. The amount of organic matter present at any given time is biomass. The productivity of any ecosystem is affected by many parameters like weather conditions, nutrient availability etc. The productivity of any ecosystem does vary seasonally and yearly.
