Arrange the following hydrides of group 16 elements in order of increasing stability.A. `H_(2)S lt H_(2)O lt H_(2) Te gt H_(2)Se`B. `H_(2)O lt H_(2)Te lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)S`C. `H_(2)O lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te`D. `H_(2)Te lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)O`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
There is a decrease in bond enthalpy (H - E) as the size of the element increases on moving down the group hence, the stability decreases on moving down the group.
