Nitrogen has five valence electrons, and therefore is in Group V-A. The "A" groups are the standard valence elements, while the "B" groups are the extended valence elements that begin with Scandium.

∙ 15y agoThat depends on if the nitrogen ion is bonded with anything else. If it is a plain nitrogen ion it is called Nitride and has a charge of minus 3. If it is bonded with oxygen it is called Nitrate ion, NO4 (charge of minus 2) Nitrogen can also bond with hydrogen, in which case it can either take the form of the NH4 (+1) ion which is called Ammonium or the Amide ion which is NH2 (-1).

What is the group number for nitrogen?
the group number for nitrogen is group 15.
What is the family name for Nitrogen?
Nitrogen is in the "Niter Family". I've never heard it called that. Sometimes called the nitrogen family and sometimes the pnictogens. The family is nitrogen N, Phosphorus P, Arsenic As, Antimony Sb and Bismuth Bi commonly called group 15 of the periodic table which used to be called either Va or Vb.
The group containing nitrogen is called?
Group 15 or Pnictogens
What elements are in the nitrogen family?
The nitrogen group, which is Group 15 of the periodic table, contains nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic(As), antimony (Sb) and bismuth (Bi). We might want to include the unconfirmed ununpentium (Uup) in the group, but there is no evidence that it exists. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
Why nitrogen family is called as pnicogens?
The Nitrogen group is Group 15 of the periodic table (formerly numbered as Group V or Group VA) and is also collectively named the pnicogens or pnictogens. This consists of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi) and ununpentium (Uup) (which is quite unconfirmed). The word pnicogens is derived from the Greek word 'πνίγειν' (pnigein), which means 'to choke or stifle', which is a property of nitrogen; they are also mnemonic for the two most common members, P and N. The name pentels (from the Latin penta, five) was also used for this group at one time, stemming from the earlier group naming convention (Group VB). --> Ayaan Hossain
How did the nitrogen group get its name?
Nitrogen is at the top of the group, therefore it is the name of that group
What family of elements nitrogen belongs to?
The group is usually just called "the nitrogen group" or group 15 or group 5A, but the old-fashioned name for that group are the pnictogens.
What is the correct family name for the functional group that has a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen?
Amide.
What are the elements in group 15 called?
pnicogen (also said pnictogen) or nitrogen family.
What is the group number for nitrogen?
the group number for nitrogen is group 15.
What is the nitrogen group?
The nitrogen group is group 15 on the periodic table.
Does nitrogen belong to the halogen group?
No. Nitrogen is in group 15 not in group 17.
What is the name of the family phosphorous is in?
Phosphorous is found in group 15 on the Periodic Table of the Elements. This is called the Nitrogen group.

What group belong the nitrogen?
nitrogen belongs too group 15
What family on the periodic table is nitrogen in?
Group 15, the formal name being the Pnictogens. Group 15 was formerly called Group V or VA.
What group nitrogen belong?
Nitrogen is in group 15 on the periodic table. The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or sometimes families.Nitrogen is in group 15 (and period 2).
