General trends to remember:
- Boiling points of hydrides increase down a group, with exceptions for NH$_3$, H$_2$O, and HF due to H-bonding.
- Acidic character of oxides increases with the oxidation state of the central atom.
- Acidic strength of binary hydrides increases down a group in p-block (e.g., HF<HCl).
- Bond angles in similar hydrides (like H$_2$O, H$_2$S) decrease down the group as the central atom's electronegativity decreases.
