The reducing character of the hydrides of group 15 elements increases from NH 3 to BiH 3 . Thus, increasing order of reducing character is as follows: NH 3 < PH 3 < AsH 3 < SbH 3 < BiH 3 Explanation: The reducing character..

Group 15 of the Periodic table includes five elements namely nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As) antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi). This group is regarded as nitrogen family. There is a transition from non-metallic to metallic character as we go..

Summary - Nitrogen is the first member of group VA. Nitrogen has 5 electrons in its valence shell. It has a valency of 3 with respect to hydrogen and a valency upto 5 with respect to oxygen. It is a non-metal and its oxides are acidic in nature. Nitrogen is an important componen..

Almost all the elements of group 13 form oxides and hydroxides of the composition M 2 O 3 and M(OH) 3 respectively. The nature of these oxides / hydroxides change from weakly acidic to amphoteric and amphoteric to basic in moving down the gr..

Unlike boron, the other members of the group are metallic and the electropositive character increases as we go down the group. All these elements in their compounds exhibit the oxidation state of + 3 and +..

These elements have five electrons in the valence shell. The loss of five electrons is quite difficult because of energy considerations. Hence they do not form ionic compounds by loss of 5 electrons. On the other hand, these elements can also gain three electrons to complete th..

Symbol C Atomic number 6 Mass number 12 Isotopes 12 6 C, 13 6 C, 14 6 C 1. Carbon is the first member of the group IVA. 2. Electronic configuration of this group shows that the members have four electrons in their valence shell. 3. Other memb..

These metals react with air or oxygen slowly upon heating (being less electropositive than alkali metals) to form oxides (MO), except Ba and Ra, which form peroxides. Due to increasing electropositive character of the elements down the group, th..
