Question

Explain the thermal stability order hydrides of group 15 element

Answer 1

Answer:

One way to determine the thermal stability of a substance is to use a TGA (thermogravimetric analyzer). The ASTM E2550 standard describes the thermal stability of a material as the “temperature at which the material starts to decompose or react, along with the extent of mass change determined using thermogravimetry”.

Explanation:

The stability of hydrides decreases from ammonia to bismuthine. This is because the central atom E increases in size down the group. With the increase in the size of the central atom, the E – H bond becomes weaker. where E is nitrogen ,phosphorus, arsenic,antimony , bismuth.

NH3 is the most stable hydride among the hydrides of group 15 elements because the strength of E-H (Here E = N, P, As, Sb, or Br) bond decreases down the group due to increase in size of the central atom.
