Detailed Solution
In the hydrides of 14th , 15th , 16th & 17th group ,Acidic strength is decided by X-H bond enthalpy but not by X-H bond polarityDown the group as the size of atom increases , affinity with H-atom decreases,X-H bond enthalpy decreases and thus acidic strength and reducing power increases
