The Nitrogen Family

1. The Nitrogen Family The nitrogen family consists of elements: Nitrogen Phosphorous Arsenic Antimony Bismuth Ununpentium By Erik Zaldivar Alex Ramirez Jean Hernandez Monica Garcia Chemistry Period 6

2. Nitrogen Element [N] • The nitrogen element has the atomic number of 7 • Its atomic mass is 14.01 • Its electron configuration would be • Its ionization energy would be 1402 • This element can be reoffered as a colorless gas • Nitrogen has the highest electro negativity which illustrates it is the most nonmetallic of the group.

3. Phosphorous [P] • The phosphorous element has an atomic number of 15 • It’s atomic mass is 30.97 • The ionization energy would be 1012 • This element can be referred to as a white solid or red solid • Is a nonmetallic element. • The electron configuration would be [Ne]3s2 3p3

4. Arsenic [As] • This element has the atomic number of 33 • It’s atomic mass would be 74.92 • Is a highly poisonous metalloid • The electron configuration would be [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3 • It’s ionization energy would be 947 • This element can be described as a yellow or grey solid.

5. Antimony [Sb] • This element has the atomic number of 51 • Has an atomic mass of 121.76 • Has moderate thermal conductivity and limited ability to conduct electricity • It’s ionization energy would be 834 • It’s electron configuration would be [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3 • This element can be described as a yellow silver white metallic solid

6. Bismuth [Bi] • Has an atomic number of 51 • Its atomic mass is 121.76 • Is a metallic element • The ionization energy would be 703 • This element can be described as a pink white metallic solid • Bismuth has the lowest electro negativity and ionization energy which means that it is more likely to lose an electron than the rest of the group 15 elements. • Is a poor electrical conductor ! • It’s electron configuration would be [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3

7. Ununpentium [Uup] • This elements atomic number is 115 • Its atomic mass would be 288 • It’s appearance is unknown • It’s electron configuration would be [Rn] 5f14 6d10 7s2 7p3

8. Periodic Trends • Electro negativity (the atom's ability of attracting electrons) increases up the group. • Ionization Energy (the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the atom in it's gaseous phase) increases up the group. • Atomic Radii (the radius of the atom) increases down the group.  • Electron Affinity (ability of the atom to accept an electron) increases going up the group. • Except for nitrogen, the elements are solid at room temperature.

9. Trends Cont. • Melting Point (amount of energy required to break bonds to change a solid phase substance to a liquid phase) increases going down the group. • Boiling Point (amount of energy required to break bonds to change a liquid phase substance to a gas) increases going down the group.  • Metallic Character (how metallic the atom is) increases going down the group. • Nitrogen family elements consists of atoms having 5 electrons in their outer energy level. • Nitrogen family elements often form covalent compounds
