Explain why `NH_(3)` is basic while BiH3 is only feebly basic.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Lone pair of electrons is present in more concentrated spherical non directional S-orbital in `BiH_(3)` whereas it is present in `sp^(3)` hybrid orbital which is directional, due to decrease in bond `(E -H)` dissociation enthalpy down the group, `BiH_(3)` acts as acid rather than a base
