Find the correct statements related to group 15 hydrides. A. Reducing nature increases from NH₃ to BiH₃ B. Tendency to donate lone pair of electrons decreases from NH₃ to BiH₃ C. The stability of hydrides decreases from NH₃ to BiH₃ D. HEH bond angle decreases from NH₃ to SbH₃ (E = Elements of group 15) Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA and B only
  2. BB and C only
  3. CA, B, C and D
  4. DA, C and D Only

Correct answer

C. A, B, C and D

Step-by-step solution

Statement A: The reducing nature of group 15 hydrides depends on the E-H bond strength. As the size of the central atom increases down the group, the E-H bond dissociation enthalpy decreases. Hence, the reducing character increases from NH₃ to BiH₃ . This statement is correct. Statement B: The basic character or the tendency to donate a lone pair of electrons depends on the electron density on the central atom. As the size of the central atom increases down the group, the electron density decreases. Thus, the basic
