MCQ
Elements of group $-15$ form compounds in $+5$ oxidation state. However, bismuth forms only one well characterised compound in $+5$ oxidation state. The compound is
- A$\ce{Bi_2O_5}$
- ✓$\ce{BiF_5}$
- C$\ce{BiCl_5}$
- D$\ce{Bi_2S_5}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\ce{BiF_5}$
Stability of $+5$ state decreases from top to bottom but because of high electronegativity and smaller size of fluorine bismuth can exist in this form.
