Explanation:
As we moved down in group 15, we can see the inert pair effect. this effect impact the penetration effect of 's orbitals. these orbital penetrate and come closer to the nucleus and enjoy greater nuclear attraction also these orbitals ,then, don't participate in bonding . this is the reason why the stability of +3 oxidation state increases in heavier element of group 15 in comparison with +5 oxidation state .
hope this is helpful !!
