Which element does not have similar chemical characteristics as phosphorus (P)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
3 0
Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.

That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).

Why does the Periodic Table have that separated part (lanthanides and actinides) at the bottom?
zepelin [54]

In the periodic table the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom because of their electronic configuration and their properties compared to the other elements.

The  the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom in the periodic table due to their electronic configuration and the properties. and to make the periodic table more convenient . if we place the f block elements that is he lanthanoid and the actinides then the size of the periodic table will increase. the f block elements are called as the inner transition element.

Thus , to make the periodic table more convenient and to group the elements in the block the the lanthanoid and the actinides are place separately at the bottom.

If an element has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41, what is the :
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons
