Which among the following is strongest reducing agent? `BiH_3,AsH_3,PH_3` and `NH_3`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which among `BiH_3`, `AsH_3`, `PH_3`, and `NH_3` is the strongest reducing agent, we can analyze the stability of these hydrides and their tendency to donate hydrogen (H) atoms. A stronger reducing agent will be more willing to donate electrons or hydrogen atoms in a reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reducing Agents**: A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons or hydrogen atoms in a chemical reaction, thereby reducing another substance. The strength of a reducing agent can often be correlated with the stability of the compound. 2. **Analyzing the Compounds**: - `NH_3` (Ammonia): It is relatively stable and does not easily donate hydrogen. ...
