• The valence shells of the p-Block elements have a configuration of ns2 np3.
• So the elements here can either lose 5 electrons or gain 3.
• The common oxidation states of these elements are -3, +3 and +5.
• With a decrease in the Ionization enthalpy and electronegativity, due to the increasing atomic radius, the tendency to gain three electrons to create a -3 oxidation state decreases down the group.
• In fact, Bismuth hardly forms any compounds with -3 oxidation state.
• As we go down, the stability of the +5 state decreases and that of +3 increases due to inert pair effect
