Arrange the hydrides of group `15` in the correct order of reducing natureA. `NH_3 lt PH_3 lt ASH_3 lt SbH_3 lt BiH_3`B. `NH_3 gt PH_3 gt ASH_3 gt SbH_3 gt BiH_3`C. `PH_3 lt ASH_3 lt SbH_3 lt BiH_3 lt NH_3`D. `PH_3 gt ASH_3 gt SbH_3 gt BIH_3 gt NH_3` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A The least stable hydride `(BiH_3)` acts as the strongest reducing agent, where as the most stable hydride `(NH_3)` as a weakest reducing agent. Consequently, reducing nature of hydrides increases on moving down the group. |
