    The decreasing order of boiling points of the following hydrides is

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}O>Sb{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    B) \[{{H}_{2}}O>N{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}\]

    C) \[{{H}_{2}}O>Sb{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[{{H}_{2}}O>P{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>Sb{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] : \[{{H}_{2}}O\]and \[N{{H}_{3}}\]have abnormally high boiling points because of their tendency to form hydrogen bonds. \[N{{H}_{3}}\]has higher boiling point than phosphine and the boiling point increases down the group because of increase in size. Hence, the order of boiling point will be \[{{H}_{2}}O>Sb{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}\]
