Among the members of VA group (N,P,As,Sb and Bi) which of the following properties shows an increase as we go down from nitrogen to bismuth.

A

Stability of +5 oxidation state

B

Reducing character of hydrides

C

Electronegativity

D

Acidic nature of the pentoxide

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Stability of +5 oxidation state decreases on account of inert pair effect. Reducing character of hydrides increases down the group because bond dissociation energy decreases down the group.
