    The stability of the hydrides follows the order

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

    B)  \[N{{H}_{3}}<P{{H}_{3}}<As{{H}_{3}}<Sb{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[P{{H}_{3}}<N{{H}_{3}}<As{{H}_{3}}<Sb{{H}_{3}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Stability of hydrides increases gradually from \[Bi{{H}_{3}}\] to \[N{{H}_{3}}\]. The reason being that the strength of the M-H bond increases due to decrease in the atomic size of the element in this order.
