Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) I, II, III and IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The reducing property of the hydrides of \(\mathrm{VA}\) group increases from \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) to \(\mathrm{BiH}_3\) \(\mathrm{NH}_3 \mathrm{PH}_3>\mathrm{AsH}_3>\mathrm{SbH}_3>\mathrm{BiH}_3\) Bond angle of VA group hydrides decreases from \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) to…
