2. Elements of group (5A)
NitrogenN7: non–metal–diatomic–gas in
atmospheric air 80%
Phosphor P15: non–metal–Calcium phosphate
( Ca3(PO4)2) Apatite
CaF2Ca3(PO4)2(4 atom) .
Arsenic As33: metalloid–Arsenic
sulphideAs2S3–vapor (4atom As4)
Antimony Sb51: metalloid–Antimony sulphide
Sb2S3–vapor atoms Sb4
Bismuth Bi83: metal forming a crystal lattice–
weak to conduct electricity
–vapor (2atom)
3. General properties
-Oxidation number: Elements of group
[5–A] have several oxidation numbers
because they gain electrons from 1 to
3 through covalent
sharing or electrons from 1 to 5
electron and reach to the stability state
4. General properties
2-Withoxygen:All elements of this
group form oxides are
acidic(decreases with increasing the
atomic number) such as N2O3, N2O5,
P2O3, P2O5while other are
amphotericSb2O3or Bi2O3or basic
(increases with increasing the atomic
number) Bi2O3.
5. General properties
-With hydrogen : Most of elements of
this group reacts with hydrogen to
form hydrides such as NH3,
PH3,phosphine, Arsine AsH3
These compounds (NH3-PH3) can
form coordinate bonds due to
presence of pair of electrons in
valence shell so it can give this
electrons to the
outer atoms or ions to form coordinate
bond
6. General properties
These compounds are basic because
atom of element has one pair of
electrons donated to positive proton of
hydrogen which is found in the
molecule of water therefore the
negative hydroxyl group separated
from molecule of water.
7. General properties
The polarity of hydrogen compounds
in this group decreases with
increasing atomicnumber.
-The thermally stability and the
solubility in water are decreases with
increasing the atomic in this group
(NH4+) is more polarity than (PH4+) is
more polarity than (AsH4+)
8. Allotropy
It is the presence of the element in
more than one form having the same
chemical properties but different
physical properties.Both nitrogen (gas)
and bismuth (metal) have no tallo
tropic.
