    Which one of the following sets gives the correct arrangement, based on the thermal stability of the compounds involved?

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

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Stability of the hydrides decreases as the group is descended. So, the correct arrangement of the compound based on the thermal stability is: \[N{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}\]
