As we move down any group, the Inert Pair effect gradually increases ,thereby making lower oxidation states more and more stable

Due to inert pair effect the +5 oxidation state of bi is less stable than its +3 oxidation state
Explanation:
- Here the 2s orbital electrons which are present in bismuth is less active to take part in a chemical bond as compared to that of 3p orbital electrons of bismuth.
- The reason why it is considered that s electrons are more tightly bound to the nucleus as compared to p electrons is the electrons shielding or to relative stabilisation of the s orbital.
