Solution: In the series of group 5A hydrides, of general
Chapter , Problem 83AE(choose chapter or problem)
In the series of group 5A hydrides, of general formula \(M H_{3}\), the measured bond distances are \(P-H, 1.1419 \AA \text { A } ; A s-H, 1.519 \AA \text {; } S b-H, 1.707 \AA\)
(a) Compare these values with those estimated by use of the atomic radii in Figure 7.7.
(b) Explain the steady increase in \(M-H\) bond distance in this series in terms of the electron configurations of the M atoms.
