VA group hydrides are:
VA group hydrides are:
- A. ionic compounds
- B. covalent compounds
- C. oxidizing agents
- D. Bleaching agents
Step-by-step solution
Group VA (Group 15) hydrides, such as NH3, PH3, AsH3, SbH3, and BiH3, are formed by sharing electrons between the group 15 element and hydrogen, resulting in covalent bonds. They are not ionic because the electronegativity difference is insufficient for electron transfer. Additionally, these hydrides typically act as reducing agents, not oxidizing or bleaching agents.
