Bond dissociation enthalpies (kJ mol⁻¹) of E-H bonds: NH₃ 389, PH₃ 322, AsH₃ 297, SbH₃ 255. Which compound acts as the strongest reducing agent?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Sb-H has the lowest bond dissociation enthalpy (255 kJ mol⁻¹), so SbH₃ gives up hydrogen most readily and is the strongest reducing agent.
