Solution
The correct option is A True
1. The b.p. of Sb is greater than Bi.
2. Group 15 elements consists of 5 valence
electrons.
3. Now
the melting point of group 15 elements increases as we move down the group from
N to As these elements have tendency to
involve all the 5 electron both s and p orbital in bonding but as we move down
the group from Sb to Bi, the s orbital electron do not involve in bonding due
to inert pair effect which doesn't allow extra two electron to involve in
bonding .
4. Thus Melting and boiling point decreases
as move from Sb to Bi.
