MCQ
Which one of the following hydrides is least stable
  • A
    $As{H_3}$
  • $Sb{H_3}$
  • C
    $N{H_3}$
  • D
    $P{H_3}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Sb{H_3}$
b
(b) $\xrightarrow{{N{H_3}\,\, > \,\,\,P{H_3}\,\,\, > As{H_3}\,\, > \,\,Sb{H_3}\, > \,\,\,Bi{H_3}_{}}}$

Stability decreases down the group because bond energy decreases down the group.
