Detailed Solution

Because SbH3 has a greater molecular weight, the force of attraction between them is stronger. As a result, boiling point rises. Although NH3 has a strong H-bond, SbH3 has the greatest boiling point due to its biggest molecular weight. NH3 has a boiling point of 238.5 K and SbH3 of 254.6 K.

BiH3>SbH3>NH3>AsH3>PH3
