Answer:
The group 15 elements: the pnicogens
Explanation:
The group 15 elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth, all have the general valence shell electronic configuration ns2np3. They can all exist in the +3 or +5 oxidation state, with the +3 state increasing in stability as we move vertically down the group.
Answer:
A chemical equation consists of the chemical formulas of the reactants (on the left) and the products (on the right). The two are separated by an arrow symbol (“→” usually read aloud as “yields”). ... The equation also identifies that all the compounds are in the gaseous state.
Explanation:
What your question for number 3
Answer: (3) molecules have different molecular structures.
Explanation:
1) Oxygen (O₂) and ozone (O₃) are allotropes of each other.
2) Allotropes are different structural forms of a same element with different structures and properties, when they are in the same state: solid, liquid, gas.
3) The bonds is what define the structure and properties of the substances, so since O₂ has only two bonds and O₃ has three bonds, the properties and behaviors of the element are different.
4) Other example of allotropes are graphite and diamond: two different forms of carbon. Both, graphite and diamond are formed only by carbon atoms, but they are bonded differently so, as you know, diamond and graphite have different properties: graphite is very soft while diamond is one of the hardest known substances.
Answer:
carbondioxide is an example of compound.
