Question

Discuss the general characteristics of group 15 elements with reference to electronic configuration oxidation state ,atomic size,ionization enthlpy and electronegativity

Answer 1

1.General electronic configuration is. ns2 np3.

2.the common oxidation state of these elements is-3,+3&+5.

3.atomic size increases down the group as general trend.

4.both ionisation enthalpy and electronegativity decreases down the group.
