Why ammonia is mild reducing agent whereas bih3 is strong reducing agent?

Answers

Answered by ps5441158

The stability of hydrides decreases from NH3 to BiH3 which can be observed from their bond dissociation enthalpy. Consequently, the reducing character of the hydrides increases. Ammonia is only a mild reducing agent while BiH3 is the strongest reducing agent amongst all the hydrides.
