Bond dissociation enthalpy of E-H (E = element) bonds is given below. Which of the compounds will act as strongest reducing agent?

A

`NH_3`

B

`PH_3`

C

`AsH_3`

D

`SbH_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Weaker the E-H bond, stronger the reducing agent. Hence `SbH_3` is the strongest reducing agent.
