Answer:
Explanation:
The common oxidation states exhibited by VA group elements are +3 and +5.
The valence shell electronic configurations of VA group elements are ns
2
np
3
. This suggests common oxidation states of VA group elements as +3, +5 and −3.
Due to inert pair effect, on moving down the group, the stability of +3 oxidation state increases and that of +5 oxidation state decreases.
