Question

explain the general and characteristics of 15and 16group elements​

Answer 1

The nitrogen family includes the following compounds: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and bismuth (Bi). All Group 15 elements have the electron configuration ns2np3 in their outer shell, where n is equal to the principal quantum number.Electronegativity, ionization energy (or ionization potential IP), and electron affinity decrease for the group as atomic weight increases. The atomic radii and melting point increase. Oxygen differs from sulfur in chemical properties due to its small size.
