Name the hydrides of elements of group- 15 and explain their following properties:(i) Bond angle (ii) basic character (iii) Thermal stability (iv) Reducing nature (v) Boiling point.​

Answer»

ANSWER:

All five of the Group 15 ELEMENTS form hydrides of the formula EH3.

...

Trihydrides of the Group 15 Elements.

Compound | Traditiona name| IUPAC name|

NH3 | Ammonia | Azane |

PH3 | Phosphine | PHOSPHANE |

AsH3 | Arsine |Arsane |

SBH3 | Stibine | Stibane |

(i) Bond angle

Bond angle decreases → The hydrides of these elements are pyramidal in shape with a lone pair of electrons in one of the orbitals. On moving down the group the bond angles gradually decrease due to a decrease in bond pair-bond pair repulsion.
