Question

explain the basic nature of hydride og group 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

In group 15, the hydrides have a lone pair on the central atom. Going down the group, size of the atom increases. And hence, electron density over the group 15 elements decreases. Thus tendency to donate electrons decreases and basicity decreases.

All the elements of group 15 form hydrides of the type EH3.Here E can be nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth. Stability: The stability of hydrides decreases from ammonia to bismuthine. This is because the central atom E increases in size down the group.
