Phosphorus is in the 15th column of the Periodic Table (Nitrogen group)
That means that it has similar valence shell electronic properties as
nitrogen
arsenic
antimony
bismuth

∙ 12y agoWhile the vertical columns of the periodic table are referred to as "groups," the horizontal rows are called "periods." Phosphorus is period 3, along with sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), [phosphorus (P),] sulfur (S), chlorine (Cl), and argon (Ar).

What happens when you mix phosphorus with other elements?
Phosphorus is an element on the periodic table. Compounds are comprised of two or more elements.
In terms of periodic law which of these elements are the most similar - sodium phosphorus and sulfur?
The elements phosphorus and sulfur are elements 15 and 16 on the periodic table. They will have more in common than sodium, element 11 and an Alkali metal from Group 1 of the table, will have with either phosphorus or sulfur.
What two elements compose phosphide?
Phosphide ion is composed of only Phosphorus
What two elements could be formed from the decomposition of barium phosphide Ba3P2?
Barium and Phosphorus
Are the properties of nitrogen more similar to the properties of neon or the properties of phosphorus?
Phosphorus.
Are phosphorus and argon similar?
Phosphorus and argon are very different chemical elements.
Is phosphorus calcium?
No. They are two separate elements.
What 2 important elements do fertilizers have in them?
I believe Phosphorus and Calcium are the two main elements used in fertilizers. Phosphorus can be very dangerous to the ecosystem as demonstrated in the phosphorus cycle.
What happens when you mix phosphorus with other elements?
Phosphorus is an element on the periodic table. Compounds are comprised of two or more elements.
Is phosphorus a compond?
No: phosphorus is an element. Compounds must contain at least two distinct elements.
What are the elements aluminum silicon and phosphorus most similar terms of?
luster
In terms of periodic law which of these elements are the most similar - sodium phosphorus and sulfur?
The elements phosphorus and sulfur are elements 15 and 16 on the periodic table. They will have more in common than sodium, element 11 and an Alkali metal from Group 1 of the table, will have with either phosphorus or sulfur.
What element on the periodic table is similar in properties to arsenic?
The two elements that have the most similar chemical properties to arsenic are Phosphorus (P) and Antimony (Sb).
Is phosphorus the same as potassium?
Nope - phosphorus and potassium are two completely different elements. The chemical symbol for Phosphorus is P - and for Potassium, it's K.
Is Gallium or Phosphorus more similar to Al?
Elements in a group generally have similar chemical properties because all the elements in that group have the same number of valence electrons, so Ga would be more similar to Al.
What two elements compose phosphide?
Phosphide ion is composed of only Phosphorus
Which two elements would NOT be capable of forming an ionic bond?
It would be Phosphorus (P) and chlorine (Cl).
