Which of the following property is true for the given sequence? \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}>\mathrm{PH}_{3}>\mathrm{AsH}_{3}>\mathrm{SbH}_{3}>\mathrm{BiH}_{3}\) ?

  1. A Reducing property
  2. B Thermal stability
  3. C Bond angle
  4. D Acidic character
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Thermal stability

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thermal stability of the hydrides of nitrogen family decreases down the group as
\(\mathrm{NH}_{3}>\mathrm{PH}_{3}>\mathrm{AsH}_{3}>\mathrm{SbH}_{3}>\mathrm{BiH}_{3}\)
Because on moving down the group size increase (from \(\mathrm{N}\) to Bi). As a result, bond strength decreases.
