Question

NaBiO3 is a strong oxidizing agent. Why ?

Answer 1

HEY MATE ^_^

We know that as we proceed down the group, teh lower oxidation state becomes more stable due to inert pair effect. Thus, for bismuth, the +3 oxidation state would be more stable than the +5 oxidation state. As a result, Bi will show a strong tendency to change into the +3 state from +5 state. So as the stability of +5 oxidation state is less than that of +3.

Answer 2

Hello mate,here is your answer!

Bi, belonging to 6th period, +5oxidation state of Bi is inherently unstable due to the innert pair effect. So it always exhibit astrong affinity to have loweroxidation state. So, NaBiO3 is a strong oxidising agent.So, NaNO3 is moderate oxidising agent.

Hope it helps you.
