Among the hydrides of group 16, write the hydride which ich is a strong reducing agent and why

Answers

Answered by piyu2635

H2Te is the strongest reducing agent among the hydrides of group 16. The size of Te is very large due to which the bonding between hydrogen and Te is not strong. On the other hand, the electronegativity of Te is very less. So it will easily loose hydrogen.
