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!!

16. Metals have a structure containing delocalised electrons, meaning they can conduct electricity as they allow movement of charged particles.    17. groups of elements (columns) react in the same way, but depending on whether they group tends to lose or gain electrons the reactivity can increase or decrease when going down the group (column)     18. O2 is non polar as there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms (they are the same). CO2 is non polar, it has polar bonds (O is more electronegative than C) but as it is symmetrical there is no polarity in the molecule.     19. Water is polar as the lone pairs on the O repel the delta + H groups so that the HOH angle is around 109deg, so water molecules create polar interactions which each other. These polar interactions require energy to break, so water has a higher boiling point than other small molecules which don't have these interactions.      20. The metal used is tough, and the horseshoe is usually heated meaning the metal will act slightly more viscous (closer to liquid). This means it can be moulded better, and then when its cooled it will become stronger and more brittle.       21. Well N2 + H2 --> NH3, by the haber process, so nitrogen:hydrogen ratio is 1:3. But what they want you to say is that nitrogen has 5 electrons and hydrogen has 1 and you're aiming for eight so you need N (5) + 3 Hs (3*1=3) to make NH3 (8 electrons around N)       22. Na and H, as this reduces the valence shell number and therefore reduces the energy state of the atom       23. Ar, its very stable as its octet is filled, meaning to fill or empty its octet it would have to lose or gain 8 electrons which is extremely hard        24. Oxygen, as it would accept the electrons donated by the 2 Na atoms, and fill its octet while emptying both the Na's     25. N2 and O2 are both covalently bonded, Oxygen forms a double bond to itself like this O=O and nitrogen forms a triple bond to itself like this N<span>≡N </span><span>Hope that helps :) and make sure you learn this, it'll come back and bite you when you need it for a test</span>

Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass is demonstrated In photosynthesis and cellular Respiration chemical equations. (Less
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Explanation:

  • According to the law of conservation of mass, In a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed. In other words, the total mass for the reactants needs to equal the total mass of the products.
  • <u><em>In photosynthesis the reactants are 6 carbon dioxide, 6 water and sunlight. The mass of these reactants adds to equal the mass of the products, which are 1 glucose and 6 oxygen. </em></u>
  • <u><em>Cellular respiration on the other hand uses glucose and oxygen gas to produce water, carbon dioxide, and a usable form of energy known as ATP.</em></u>
  • Cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis, such that the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration also obeys the law of conservation of mass.
