Which of the following represents correct decreasing order of polarity?
Options
(a) NH₃ > PH₃ > AsH₃ > SbH₃
(b) NH₃ >SbH₃ > AsH₃ > PH₃
(c) SbH₃ > AsH₃ > PH₃ > NH₃
(d) NH₃ > AsH₃ > SbH₃ > PH₃
Correct Answer:
NH₃ >SbH₃ > AsH₃ > PH₃
Explanation:
Electronegativities of H, Sb, As, P and N are 2.1, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 respectively.
