Question

Write the decreasing order of thermal stability of hydrides of group 16 elements?

Answer 1

Write the order of thermal stability of the hydrides of Group 16 elements. The thermal stability of hydrides decreases on moving down the group. This is due to a decrease in the bond dissociation enthalpy (H-E) of hydrides on moving down the group.

Answer 2

The thermal stability of the hydrides of group 16 elements decreases down the group, i.e., H2O > H2S > H2Se > H2Te > H2Po. This is because M-H bond dissociation energy decreases down the group with the increase in the size of central atom.
