Explanation:

Elements that are present in same group contains same number of valence electrons.

Therefore, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

For example, both nitrogen and phosphorus are group 15 elements. Hence, they have 5 valence electrons and they tend to show similar chemical properties.

Since, C, N, P, O and S are all non-metals but Al is a metal.

Therefore, properties of aluminium will be completely different from that of nitrogen or other non-metals.

Hence, we can conclude that element P has properties that are most similar to those of nitrogen and element Al has properties that are the least similar to nitrogen.

Most similar would be phosphorus, because they have the same number of electrons in their outer orbitals, thus they create the same ions, and react with elements in a similar fashion.
Different would probably be aluminum. Aluminum is a metal while nitrogen is a non-metal, as seen by the colors above. Also, aluminum creates a positive ion (losses electrons to become stable) while nitrogen creates a negative ion (gains electrons to become stable)
Hope this helps!!

Iron-60 Express your answer as an isotope.
lys-0071 [83]

Isotopes are variants atoms of the same element, having same number of atomic(proton) number but different number of neutrons and mass number.

Considering iron-60

  • The atomic number which also equals the number of protons for the element iron as can be seen on the periodic table is 26
  • The name  iron-60 also tells us that this particlar  isotope's mass number is 60.  
  • The chemical symbol for Iron  is Fe

Now expressing  as an isotope iron-60 becomes   ⁶⁰₂₆Fe ( very unstable )

Other stable isotopes of Iron include   ⁵⁴₂₆Fe , ⁵⁶₂₆Fe, ⁵⁷₂₆Fe and ⁵⁸₂₆Fe

A student balanced the chemical equation Mg + O2 →MgO by writing Mg + O2 → MgO2. Was the equation balanced correctly? Explain yo
Amanda [17]

Explanation:

Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.

As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not MgO_{2}.

The student write the equation as Mg + O_2 \rightarrow MgO_2, it is not correct.

Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

          2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.

The ________ ion is represented by the electron configuration [ar]3d2.
Tresset [83]
The Ti 2+ ions is  represented  by  electron  configuration  (Ar)3d2. Titanium is in  atomic  number  22  and  its  electronic  configuration  is  (Ar)3d2 4s2.  Titanium loss two  electron that  is  4s2 electrons  hence the  electronic  configuration ( Ar)3d2.  4s2 is  the  valence electron  hence  it   the  one   which  is  lost  to  form  Ti2+

Oksanka [162]
<h2>Answer : Option B) The hematite particles rearrange to form a new substance.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Hematite particles when gets rearranged to form a new substance,  is an example of a chemical change.

As a chemical changes is usually a change where a substance undergoes a chemical change and forms a new substance; which cannot be easily reversed into reactants by any simple physical methods.

In this example the hematite ore forms a new substance by an irreversible chemical change.
