Q. Which of the following statements are not correct about the hydrides of Group 15 elements ?

The hydrides of the elements of group 15 areionic and have planar triangular shape

The thermal stability of the hydrides decreases down the group

The basic character of the hydrides decreases down the group

The reducing nature of the hydrides increases down the group

All the hydrides of group 15 are covalent and are pyramidal in shape ( $s p^{3}$ hybridization)
