N, P are Non-Metal

As, Sb are Metalloid

Bi is Metal

Hydrides of group 15 elements are

NH3 , PH3 , AsH3 , SbH3 , BiH3

In NH3, the hydrogen atom gets a partial positive charge due to less electronegativity. But in BiH3, the hydrogen atom gets a partial negative charge because hydrogen is more electronegative than bismuth.

 BiH3 is a strong reducing agent than others because we know that H- is a strong reducing agent and Bi – H bond dissociation energy is very less.
