प्रश्न
Write the order of thermal stability of the hydrides of Group 16 elements.
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The thermal stability of hydrides decreases on moving down the group. This is due to a decrease in the bond dissociation enthalpy (H−E) of hydrides on moving down the group.
Therefore,

उत्तर २
The thermal stability of hydrides of group 16 elements decreases down the group. This is because down the group, size of the element (M) increases, M-H bond length increases and thus, stability of M-H bond decreases so that it can be broken down easily. Hence, we have order of thermal stability as H2O > H2S > H2Se > H2Te > H2PQ
