    The basic character of hydrides of the V-group elements decreases in the order [CBSE PMT 1996]

    A) \[Sb{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    B) \[N{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}\]

    C) \[N{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[Sb{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[N{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}\] On moving down the group atomic size increases and availability of lone pair decreases. Hence, basic character decreases.
