Chemistry Question on p -Block Elements
Which is the correct thermal stability order for H2E (E = O. S. Se. Te and Po) ?
A
H2Po<H2Te<H2Se<H2S<H2O
B
H2Se<H2Te<H2Po<H2O<H2S
C
H2S<H2O<H2Se<H2Te<H2Po
D
H2O<H2S<H2Se<H2Te<H2Po
Answer
H2Po<H2Te<H2Se<H2S<H2O
Explanation
Solution
On going down the group thermal stability order for H2E decreases because H-E bond energy decreases
∴ Order of stability would be:-
H2Po<H2Te<H2Se<H2S<H2O
