Question

Why does the reducing character decreases in hydrides in group 15

Answer 1

The reducing character of thehydrides of Group 15 elementsincreases from NH3 to BiH3(Bismuthine) because thereducing character depends upon the stability of the hydride.The greater the unstability of anhydride,the greater isthe its reducing character.Since,the BiH3 is the least stable (because the size of central .
