The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect?" regarding the properties of group 15 elements, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the boiling points of group 15 hydrides - The hydrides of group 15 elements include NH3 (ammonia), PH3 (phosphine), AsH3 (arsine), and SbH3 (stibine). - As we move down the group from nitrogen to antimony, the size of the atoms increases, leading to an increase in boiling points due to increased van der Waals forces. - However, NH3 has a higher boiling point than PH3 and AsH3 due to hydrogen bonding, which is significant in NH3 due to its high electronegativity. - The correct order of boiling points is: SbH3 < PH3 < AsH3 < NH3. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the reducing character of oxoacids of phosphorus - The oxoacids of phosphorus include H3PO5 (phosphoric acid), H3PO3 (phosphorous acid), and H3PO2 (hypophosphorous acid). - The oxidation states of phosphorus in these acids are +5, +3, and +1 respectively. - As the oxidation state decreases, the reducing character increases. Thus, H3PO2 should have the highest reducing character, followed by H3PO3, and then H3PO5. - The statement claiming the order of reducing character is incorrect because it suggests the opposite. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze the oxidation states of nitrogen - The oxidation states of nitrogen can be +1, +2, +3, and +5. - The increasing order of oxidation states is indeed +1 < +2 < +3 < +5. - This statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the basicity of group 15 hydrides - The basicity of the hydrides (NH3, PH3, AsH3, SbH3) decreases down the group. - This is because as the size of the central atom increases, the electron density decreases, leading to a lower tendency to donate the lone pair of electrons. - Therefore, the basicity order is indeed correct: NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3. - This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the statements: - The only incorrect statement is the one regarding the reducing character of oxoacids of phosphorus. Thus, the answer to the question is that **only the second statement is incorrect**.
