Question:

Consider the substances arsine, AsH3, and phosphine, PH3, that are analogous to ammonia, NH3. Write chemical equations illustrating the basic character of arsine and phosphine. Write formulas for the ions formed by NH3, AsH3, and PH3 with H+. Order these ions by their acidic character. Explain how you arrived at this order. Now compare the basicities of the substances AsH3, PH3, and NH3, ordering them by their basic character, from least to most basic. Explain how you arrived at this order.
