Question

Compare basic character of Nitrogen family hydrides down the group. And compare reducing character of Nitrogen family hydrides down the group.

Answer 1

Down the group basic character decreases

Answer 2

$\huge\textbf{Answer}$


» Compare basic character of Nitrogen family hydrides down the group.

Down the group, atomic size increases, electron negativity decreases. So, electron density decreases. That's why basic character also decreases.


» Comapre reducing character of Nitrogen family hydrides down the group.

Down the group atomic size increases, bond length increases, bond strength decreases. Bond dessociation enthalpy decreases. So, reducing behavior increases.
