AnswersDriveThe nitrogen family consists of five elements, which start with nitrogen on the periodic table and move down the group or column:
- nitrogen.
- phosphorus.
- arsenic.
- antimony.
- bismuth.
Which group does nitrogen belong to?
Nitrogen group element, any of the chemical elements that constitute Group 15 (Va) of the periodic table. The group consists of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and moscovium (Mc).

What is the family name of sodium?
As we begin our exploration of the third period (row) of the periodic table, we find the element sodium (Na). Being in the first column, sodium is a member of the alkali metal family with potassium (K) and lithium (Li).
2
How many metals are in Group 14?
Groups 13–16 of the periodic table contain one or more metalloids, in addition to metals, nonmetals, or both. Group 13 is called the boron group, and boron is the only metalloid in this group. The other group 13 elements are metals. Group 14 is called the carbon group.
3
What does nitrogen react to?
Heating Nitrogen and Oxygen produces Nitrogen oxide. Nitric oxide (NO) is formed by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitric oxide is oxidized to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which in turn reacts with water to give nitric acid (HNO3). Nitrogen oxides therefore react with water to form nitric acid (HNO3).
4
Is nitrogen gas liquid or solid?
Below 63 K, nitrogen freezes and becomes a solid. Above 77.2 K, nitrogen boils and becomes a gas. Since it is obtained from the atmosphere, liquid nitrogen is inexpensive and is rarely refrigerated. It is kept in insulated containers called Dewars and is allowed to boil away.
5
Why are Group 17 elements are called halogens?
Group 17 elements are called halogens because halogen is a Greek word which means 'salt producing'. Halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. They all are non-metals. They react with metals to form compounds called salts.
6
Is nitrogen an atom?
Nitrogen. Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dinitrogen, a colourless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula N2. Dinitrogen forms about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, making it the most abundant uncombined element
7
What group in the periodic table does nitrogen belong to?
Nitrogen group element, any of the chemical elements that constitute Group 15 (Va) of the periodic table. The group consists of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and moscovium (Mc).
8
Is nitrogen a nonmetal?
The nonmetal elements occupy the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table. The nonmetal element group is a subset of these elements. The nonmetal element group consists of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and selenium.
9
How did Nitrogen get its name?
Nitrogen was named by French chemist Jean-Antoine Chaptal in 1790. He named it after the mineral niter when he found that niter contained the gas. Niter is also called saltpeter or potassium nitrate.
10
Is the nitrogen family highly reactive?
The Nitrogen family is highly reactive, some more than others. However, Nitrogen is less reactive than Phosphorus. Nitrogen is more on the non-reactive side, while Phosphorus is one of the more reactive elements in this family. Chemical Reactivity Objective: Learn about group 15 of the Periodic table.
11
What is group 15 of the periodic table called?
Pnictogens- Group 15 (VA) The pnictogen group, or nitrogen group, is located in column 15 of the periodic table. This family consists of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and ununpentium (N, P, As, Sb, Bi, and Uup, respectively).
12
What is the name of the elements in group 16?
The oxygen family, also called the chalcogens, consists of the elements found in Group 16 of the periodic table and is considered among the main group elements. It consists of the elements oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium. These can be found in nature in both free and combined states.
13
What are the physical properties of the nitrogen family?
The top two elements, nitrogen and phosphorus, are very definitely nonmetals, forming -3 charge anions. Nitrogen is a diatomic gas and phosphorus is a solid. The elements arsenic, antimony, and bismuth all have some characteristics of semimetals such as brittleness as a free element.
14
Is nitrogen a halogen?
Nonmetals: The term "nonmetals" is used to classify hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), sulfur (S) and selenium (Se). Halogens: The halogen elements are a subset of the nonmetals. They comprise Group 17 of the periodic table, from fluorine (F) through astatine (At).
15
How do we use nitrogen?
Nitrogen is important to the chemical industry. It is used to make fertilisers, nitric acid, nylon, dyes and explosives. To make these products, nitrogen must first be reacted with hydrogen to produce ammonia. This is done by the Haber process.
16
What element in Group 14 is a nonmetal?
Group 14 is the carbon family. The five members are carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. All of these elements have four electrons in their outermost energy level. Of the Group 14 elements, only carbon and silicon form bonds as nonmetals (sharing electrons covalently).
17
What are Group 15 elements called?
This group is also known as the nitrogen family. It consists of the elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and perhaps the chemically uncharacterized synthetic element moscovium (Mc). In modern IUPAC notation, it is called Group 15.
18
How many elements are in the nitrogen family?
Group 15: The Nitrogen Family. 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 the principal quantum number.
19
Is nitrogen a metal or non metal?
The non-metals or non-metallic elements; hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P), sulphur (sulfer) (S), selenium (Se), (Uuo may belong here) and the noble gases form a relatively small group with a step like pattern towards the left-hand side of the periodic table (hydrogen being the odd one
