Elements of group - 15 form compounds in + 5 oxidation state. However, bismuth forms only one well characterised compound in + 5 oxidation
state. The compound is
The stability of + 5 oxidation state decreases down the group due to inert pair effect. The only well characterised $$Bi\left( V \right)$$ compound is $$Bi{F_5}$$ as fluorine being most electronegative
element is able to unpair $$ns$$ electrons.

If chlorine is passed through a solution of hydrogen sulphide in water, the solution turns turbid due to the formation of
The ease of formation and stability of hydrides decreases rapidly from $$N{H_3}\,{\text{to}}\,Bi{H_3}.$$ This is evident from their dissociation temperature which decreases from $$N{H_3}\,{\text{to}}\,Bi{H_3}.$$ As we go down the group the size of central atom increases and thus metal-hydrogen bond becomes weaker due to decreased overlap between the large central atom and small hydrogen atom.
$$\mathop {N{H_3} > P{H_3}}\limits_{{\text{(most stable)}}} > As{H_3} > Sb{H_3} > \mathop {Bi{H_3}}\limits_{{\text{(least stable}})} $$

Maximum bond angle at nitrogen is present in which of the following?
$$F$$ and $$Cl$$ are more oxidising in nature and can achieve $$Pb$$ in $$\left( {IV} \right)O.S.$$ but $$B{r_2}$$ and $${I_2}$$ can not achieve $$Pb$$ in $$\left( {IV} \right)O.S.$$ secondly $$P{b^{4 + }}$$ is strong in oxidising nature and in its presence, $$B{r^ - }$$ and $${I^ - }$$ can not exist.
The thermal stability of tetrahalides decreases in order $$C{X_4} > Si{X_4} > Ge{X_4} > Sn{X_4}$$ and in terms of same metal with different halides is in order of $$M{F_4} > MC{l_4} > MB{r_4} > M{I_4}.$$

A group 14 element is oxidised to form corresponding oxide which is gaseous in nature, when dissolved in water $$pH$$ of the water decreases further addition of group 2 hydroxides leads to precipitation. This oxide can be
