A group 1515 element, which is a metal and forms a hydride with strongest reducing power among group 1515 hydrides. The element is :

Options

  1. ASbSb
  2. BPP
  3. CAsAs
  4. DBiBi

Correct answer

D. BiBi

Step-by-step solution

In group 1515

]PN→] PN \to Non-metal

]SbAs→] SbAs \to Metalloid

Bi]→Bi ] \to Metal

Hydrides of group 15 elements are

NH3{NH}_{3}

PH3{PH}_{3}

AsH3{AsH}_{3}

SbH3{SbH}_{3}

BiH3{BiH}_{3}

In NH3{NH}_{3}, hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge due to less electronegativity. But in BiH3{BiH}_{3}, hydrogen atom gets partial negative charge because hydrogen is more electronegative than bismuth.

i.e. BiH3{BiH}_{3} is a strong reducing agent than others because we know that H−{H}^{-} is a strong reducing agent.
