Which of the following statements is correct?A. Hydrides of group 13 act as Lewis acidsB. Hydrides of group 14 are electronC. Hydrides of group 14 act as lewis acidsD. Hydrides of group 15 act as Lewis bases

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
All elements of group 13 will form electrondefficient compounds which acts as lewis acids. All elements of group 14 will form electronprecise compounds.
Electronrich hydrides have excess electrons which are present as long pairs. Elements of group 15-17 forms such compounds. `NH_(3)` has 1- lone pair, `H_(2)O-2 ` and `H_(2)O_(2)` and HF-3 lone pairs act as Lewis bases.
