Or of Bi (V) and Sb(V) which may be a stronger oxidising agent and why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why Bi(V) is a stronger oxidant than Sb(V), we can analyze the properties of these elements in the context of their positions in the periodic table and the concept of the inert pair effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements and Their Oxidation States:** - We are comparing bismuth (Bi) and antimony (Sb), both of which belong to group 15 of the periodic table. - The oxidation states we are considering are Bi(V) and Sb(V). ...
