The least stable hydride of 15th group elements is

A

a)`NH_(3)`

B

b)`PH_(3)`

C

c)`AsH_(3)`

D

d)`BiH_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Thermal stability of hydrides of N family decreases gradually from `NH_(3)` to `BiH_(3)` due to increase in M-H bond strength down the group on account of increase in size of central atom.
