Detailed Solution

General formula of 15th group hydrides is \mathop X\limits^{\, \bullet \bullet } {H_3}

central atom contains a lone pair

Down the group , the size of the central atom increases,electron density on the central atom decreases.

So the tendency of donating electron pair decreases, basic strength decreases

(According to Lewis theory electron pair donars are bases)
