In which of the following arrangements, the sequence is not strictly according to the property written against it?

  1. A
    : increasing oxidising power
  2. B
    : increasing acid strength
  3. C
    : increasing basic strength
  4. D
    : increasing first ionization enthalpy

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In Group 15, as we go down the group, the size of the central atom increases and the electron density (and thus availability of the lone pair) decreases. Therefore, basic strength decreases in the order:.The given order in Option C is exactly the opposite of the correct trend.
