NEET2009Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Actual
Which of the following is not correct ?
Options
- AHydrolysis of NCl ₃ gives NH ₃ and HOCl
- BNH ₃ is less stable than PH ₃
- CNH ₃ is a weak reducing reagent compared to PH ₃
- DNitric oxide in solid state exhibits diamagnetic property
Correct answer
B. NH ₃ is less stable than PH ₃
Step-by-step solution
Among V A group hydrides, the stability decreases in going down the group ie, NH ₃ PH ₃ AsH ₃ SbH ₃ BiH ₃ It is due to the increasing bond length down the group.
