The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements related to the hydrides of Group VA elements (Nitrogen family), we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Reducing Property - **Statement I**: "Reducing property increases from NH₃ to BiH₃." - As we move down the group from NH₃ to BiH₃, the reducing property indeed increases. This is because heavier elements like bismuth have lower electronegativity and can more readily donate electrons. **Conclusion**: Statement I is **True**. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Tendency to Donate Lone Pair - **Statement II**: "Tendency to donate lone pair decreases from NH₃ to BiH₃." - The tendency to donate a lone pair decreases as we move down the group. NH₃ has a strong tendency to donate its lone pair due to the high electronegativity of nitrogen, while BiH₃ has a much lower tendency due to the larger size and lower electronegativity of bismuth. **Conclusion**: Statement II is **True**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Thermal Stability - **Statement III**: "Thermal stability of hydrides decreases from NH₃ to BiH₃." - The thermal stability of these hydrides decreases as we go down the group. NH₃ is quite stable, while BiH₃ is less stable and can decompose at lower temperatures. **Conclusion**: Statement III is **True**. ### Step 4: Evaluate Bond Angles - **Statement IV**: "Bond angle of hydrides decreases from NH₃ to BiH₃." - The bond angle in NH₃ is approximately 107 degrees due to the presence of lone pairs. As we move down to BiH₃, the bond angle decreases due to the larger size of the central atom and the decrease in lone pair repulsion. **Conclusion**: Statement IV is **True**. ### Final Conclusion All statements I, II, III, and IV are correct. ### Summary of Correct Statements The correct statements are: - I, II, III, and IV.
