why is Bi a stronger oxidant than Sb​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As the stability of +3 oxidation state increases down the group due to inner pair effect, therefore being the last member of the 15 th group bi(5) gets easily reduced by taking 2 electrons and attains more stable state i.e Bi(3) hence better oxidizing agent than Sb(5).
