Arrange the hydrides of group `15` in the correct order of reducing nature

A

`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`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
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.
