Question

Choose the correct statements about the hydrides of group 15 elements.
A. The stability of the hydrides decreases in the order $NH _3> PH _3> AsH _3>$ $SbH _3> BiH _3$.
B. The reducing ability of the hydride increases in the order $NH _3< PH _3< AsH _3$ $< SbH _3< BiH _3$.
C. Among the hydrides, $NH _3$ is strong reducing agent while $BiH _3$ is mild reducing agent.
D. The basicity of the hydrides increases in the order $NH _3< PH _3< AsH _3<$ $SbH _3< BiH _3$.
