Question

Describe at least 3 specific characteristics that makes the Nitrogen family (5A or 15) unique (i.e. chemical and/or physical properties)

Answer 1

The nitrogen family includes the following compounds:

Answer 2

: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and bismuth (Bi).

Answer 3

All Group 15 elements have the electron configuration ns2np3 in their outer shell, where n is equal to the principal quantum number. The nitrogen family is located in the p-block in Group 15, as shown below.

Answer 4

All Group 15 elements tend to follow the general periodic trends:

Answer 5

Electronegativity (the atom's ability of attracting electrons) decreases down the group.
Ionization energy (the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom in its gas phase) decreases down the group.

Answer 6

Atomic radii increase in size down the group.
Electron affinity (the ability of the atom to accept an electron) decreases down the group.
Melting point (amount of energy required to break bonds to change a solid phase substance to a liquid phase substance) increases down the group.

Answer 7

Boiling point (amount of energy required to break bonds to change a liquid phase substance to a gas) increases down the group.
Metallic character increases down the group.

Answer 8

thank you so much :D

Answer 9

This element has no color, taste or odor and is present in nature as a noncombustible gas. When compared with the rest of Group 15, nitrogen has the highest electronegativity which makes it the most nonmetallic of the group.

Answer 10

and its nonmetallic soo

Answer 11

no problem any time :)

Answer 13

Describe the state of matter of each element in the nitrogen family (at room temperature).

Answer 14

O-O

Answer 15

whats that face for lol

Answer 16

XD

Answer 17

my computer is slow

Answer 18

All are solids but one. That one is a gas.

Answer 19

lol yeah that happens :3

Answer 20

witch one is the gas?
