    The thermal stability of the hydrides of O, S, Se and Te varies in the order

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}Te>{{H}_{2}}Se>{{H}_{2}}S>{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B) \[{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}S>{{H}_{2}}Se>{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    C) \[{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}Se>{{H}_{2}}Te>{{H}_{2}}S\]

    D) \[{{H}_{2}}S>{{H}_{2}}O>{{H}_{2}}Se>{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]: Thermal stability decreases as the size of atom increases (down the group). Thus, \[{{H}_{2}}O\]is most stable and \[{{H}_{2}}\]Te is least stable.
