Why Group 5 is often referred to as the soluble group?

Group 5 elements, which include nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, are often referred to as the soluble group because many of their compounds, particularly those with alkali metals, are soluble in water. For instance, nitrogen forms soluble nitrates, phosphorus forms soluble phosphates, and arsenic forms soluble arsenates. This characteristic makes these elements and their compounds significant in various biological and chemical processes, including nutrient availability in ecosystems. Their solubility contrasts with other groups, which may form mostly insoluble compounds.

What group of compounds is described as insoluble?

One group of compounds that is commonly insoluble is metal sulfides. These compounds are generally not soluble in water and form solid precipitates when metal ions react with sulfide ions.
