JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
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. H–E–H bond angle decreases from NH₃ to SbH₃ (E = Elements of group 15) Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: (C)
Solution
Down the group the E–H bond weakens, so hydrides become less stable and stronger reductants (A, C). Basicity falls as
