NEET2019Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Actual
Which is the correct thermal stability order for H 2 E E = O ,   S ,   S e ,   T e   a n d   P o ?
Options
- AH 2 S < H 2 O < H 2 S e < H 2 T e < H 2 P o
- BH 2 O < H 2 S < H 2 S e < H 2 T e < H 2 P o
- CH 2 P o < H 2 T e < H 2 S e < H 2 S < H 2 O
- DH 2 S e < H 2 T e < H 2 P o < H 2 O < H 2 S
Correct answer
C. H 2 P o < H 2 T e < H 2 S e < H 2 S < H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
Thermal stability of H 2 E decreases with the decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy of H - E bond down the group. H 2 O > H 2 S > H 2 S e > H 2 T e > H 2 Po
