Question

Choose the correct statements about the hydrides of group 15 elements.

A. The stability of the hydrides decreases in the order NH3>PH3>AsH3>SbH3>BiH3\mathrm{NH_3 > PH_3 > AsH_3 > SbH_3 > BiH_3}

B. The reducing ability of the hydrides increases in the order NH3<PH3<AsH3<SbH3<BiH3\mathrm{NH_3 < PH_3 < AsH_3 < SbH_3 < BiH_3}

C. Among the hydrides, NH3\mathrm{NH_3} is strong reducing agent while BiH3\mathrm{BiH_3} is mild reducing agent.

D. The basicity of the hydrides increases in the order NH3<PH3<AsH3<SbH3<BiH3\mathrm{NH_3 < PH_3 < AsH_3 < SbH_3 < BiH_3}
