The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$H_3PO_2$ is a good reducing agent as it contains two P-H bonds and thus reduces $AgNO_3$ to Ag. $4AgNO_{3 }+ H_{3}PO_{2} + 2H_{2}O \to4Ag ? + H_{3}PO_{4}+ 4HNO_{3}$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
