Well the elements would be N, P, As, Sb, and Bi. Their electron configuration would be N= [He] 2s2 2p3, P= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, As= [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3, Sb=  Kr 4d10 5s2 5p3, and Bi= Xe 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3.<span />
        
             
        
        
        
If he was the primary scientist doing it as he did alot of the heavy lifting then yes its ok, but i also think how the others should also me at least mentioned. Or they could just not name the experiment by a person just so its not too biased
        
             
        
        
        
I believe its D. They can perform more functions.
