Question

Elements ofgroup-15 form compounds in +5 oxidation state. However, bismuth forms only one well characterised compound in +5 oxidation state. The compound is (A)  Bi2O5  (B)  BiF5  (C)  BiCl5  (D)  Bi2S5

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Fluorine being the strongest oxidising agent, oxidises Bi to its highest oxidation state of +5 in BiF5.
