Which element from group V gives most basic compound with hydrogen?

  • Nitrogen

  • Bismuth

  • Arsenic

  • Phosphorus


A.

Nitrogen

Al the hydrides of group V elements possess a lone pair of electrons on the central atom and thus behaves as Lewis bases. The basic character, however, decreases as we move down the group from NH3 to BiH3.
