Answer-

Atomic Numbers 15, 19, 23, and 44 are Phosphorus, Potassium, Vanadium, and Ruthenium respectively.

Hydrides of these elements are 

(i) PH_{3}- it's an electron-rich species and also a covalent molecule.   

        a lone pair of electrons.

(ii) Hydrides of potassium- dihydrogen forms an ionic hydride. It is crystalline and non-volatile in nature 

    

(iii) Hydrides of Vanadium and Ruthenium- Both elements belong to d- block. They form metallic and non-stoichiometric hydrides. They are metallic in nature.

 

Behavior towards water-

  • D block element does not react with water.
  • Phosphorus reacts with water (behaves as Lewis base and accepts H^{+} and forms PH_{4}^{+}).
  • Potassium reacts with water to form KOH and liberate hydrogen gas.
