Answer the following questions : Of Bi(V) and Sb(V), which may be a stronger oxidising agent and why? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Bi(V) is a STRONGER oxidising agent. After oxidising action, Bi(V) will be reduced to Bi(III) state. As we move down a group, stability of +3 state GOES on increasing. Thus, Bi(V) will be a stronger oxidising agent because it will PROVIDE more stable Bi(III) state. | |
