half life 13.8 days
8
Q
acidic characer increases from
A
H2O to H2Te
9
Q
thermal stability of hydrides decreases from
A
H2o to H2Po
10
Q
all the hydrides possess reducing property except
A
water
decreases from H2S to H2Te
11
Q
reducing propert of oxides decreases from
A
SO2 to TeO2
So2 is reducing whersa TeO2 is oxidizing
12
Q
H2S is less aciic than H2Te
A
due to decrease in bond dissociation down the group thus the acidic character increases
