Which among the following group 15 element forms most stable pentavalent compound ?

A

Phosphorus

B

Antimony

C

Bismuth

D

Arsenic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Phosphorus forms most stable pentavalent compound among group 15 elements due to the presence of vacant d-orbital to overlap with it e.g. `PCl_5` . It also favours `ppi-dpi` bonding which has the strongest overlapping between the orbital 1s, for a stable bond formation.
