    The least stable hydride of 15th group elements is

    A)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]                                 

    B)  \[P{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[As{{H}_{3}}\]                

    D)         \[Sb{{H}_{3}}\]

    E)  \[Bi{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Thermal stability of hydrides of N family decreases gradually from\[N{{H}_{3}}\]to\[Bi{{H}_{3}}\]due to increase in\[MH\]bond strength down the group on account of increase in size of central atom.        \[N{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}>Bi{{H}_{3}}\] Decomposit \[1300{}^\circ C\text{ }440{}^\circ C\text{ }280{}^\circ C~150{}^\circ C\] Room ion temp. : temp.
