This is because nitrogen tops the group and all the elements therefore show similarity with nitrogen and or show similar chemical properties....

No. They are in groups 14 and 15 respectively. They are both in the same period.
Group 15 is the 15th column in the periodic table of elements. It includes nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antinomy, bismuth, and ununpentium. Group 15 elements are called pnictogens & pnicogens.
Group 15 elements are known as pnictogens because the term "pnictogen" is derived from the Greek word "pnigein," meaning "to choke" or "to suffocate." This name reflects the fact that many of these elements, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, form compounds that can be toxic or harmful in certain contexts. The group includes nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, which share similar chemical properties and are characterized by having five valence electrons.
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
Group 15 of the periodic table is also known as the Nitrogen Group. It includes the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. These elements share similar chemical properties, with nitrogen being a nonmetal, phosphorus and arsenic metalloids, and antimony and bismuth metals.
Group 15 elements, also known as the nitrogen group, typically have an oxidation number of -3 when they form ions. This group includes elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
There is no Group 15 - however, element number 15 - Phosphorus - is in the periodic tables' Group V A.
Group 15 elements generally form covalent compounds. However the two elements from group 15 nitrogen and phosphorus are known to form nitride (N3-) and phosphide (P3-) ions as in Na3N or Na3P.

it is in group 15 of the periodic table of elements
Group 15, the formal name being the Pnictogens. Group 15 was formerly called Group V or VA.
