Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A, B, C and D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement A: The reducing nature of group 15 hydrides depends on the E-H bond strength. As the size of the central atom increases down the group, the E-H bond dissociation enthalpy decreases. Hence, the reducing character increases from NH\(_3\) to BiH\(_3\). This statement is…
