Options:
  • A CO2 < SiO2 < SnO2 < PbO2 : increasing oxidising power
  • B HF < HCl < HBr < HI : increasing acid strength
  • C B < C < O < N : increasing first ionisation energy

The correct answer is: NH3 < PH3 < AsH3 < SbH3 : increasing basic strength

Drago's Rule :-

In case of NH3, PH3, - - -  bond angle decrease ,NH3  ( 107 ° ) & PH 3  ( 90 ° ) So, %s character of lp in NH3 is less & %s charactor of lp top to bottom increase so basic charactor decrease.
