In which of the following arrangements, the sequence is not strictly according to the property written against it?
Options
- ACO ₂ < SiO ₂ < SnO ₂ < PbO ₂ : increasing oxidising power
- BNH ₃ < PH ₃ < AsH ₃ < SbH ₃ : increasing basic strength
- CHF < HCl < HBr < HI : increasing acid strength
- DB < C < O < N : increasing first ionisation enthalpy.
Correct answer
B. NH ₃ < PH ₃ < AsH ₃ < SbH ₃ : increasing basic strength
Step-by-step solution
Correct order of increasing basic strength is NH ₃> PH ₃> AsH ₃> SbH ₃> BiH ₃
