    The correct order of boiling points of the hydrides of nitrogen family is

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The boiling point of NH3 is higher due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. The order of boiling point of the hydrides of nitrogen family is asHydride: \[P{{H}_{3}}<As{{H}_{3}}<N{{H}_{3}}<Sb{{H}_{3}}\] B.P.:        \[185~~~~~218~~~~~~~239.6~~~\,\,\,\,256\]
