    The boiling points of the following hydrides follows the order of:

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Compound    \[N{{H}_{3}}\,\,\,P{{H}_{3}}\,\,As{{H}_{3}}\,\,Sb{{H}_{3}}\] Boiling point (K) 238   185    211    254 (i) Boiling point of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] is high due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. (ii) The boiling point among hydrides increases while moving down group, due to increase in size. \[\therefore \] The boiling points are in the following order \[Sb{{H}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}>As{{H}_{3}}>P{{H}_{3}}\]
