1.

Which of the following has the highest proton affinity ?A. Stibine `(SbH_(3))`B. Arsine `(AsH_(3))`C. Phosphine `(PH_(3))`D. Ammonia `(NH_(3))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`MH_(3)+H^(+) to MH_(4^(+))` As the size of the central atom increases, the stability of the conjugate acid decreases and hence the basic character decreases in the order. `NH_(3) gt PH_(3) gt AsH_(3) gt SbH_(3)`
