The reason for this lies in the atomicity of Nitrogen an phosphorous.
Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule whereas phosphorous exists as P4
molecule. Therefore, the nature of interactions in phosphorous are stronger as compared to nitrogen and hence it has a higher melting point than Nitrogen and exists as solid at room temperature.
What else can I help you with?
Why is nitrogen a gas and phosphorous is a solid at room temperature?
Nitrogen forms molecules N2, whereas phosphorus forms larger molecules such as P4.(Phosphorus has a number of allotropes). The underlying reason is that nitrogen a second period element can form double bonds to itself much better than P which is in period 3.
How many nonmetals are in the nitrogen family?
2 of the Nitrogen family Are Non-MetalsNitrogen:- Non-metalPhosphorous:- Non-metalArsenic:-MetalloidAntimony:- MetalloidBismuth:- Metal
What state of matter is phosphorus in at room temperature?
Phosphorus is typically in a solid state at room temperature. There are different allotropes of phosphorus, with the most common form being white phosphorus, which is a waxy solid.
What is phosphorus a solid liquid or a gas at room temperature?
Phosphorus is a solid at room temperature. It exists in different allotropes, with white phosphorus being the most reactive and common form at room temperature.
What it is phosphorus's state of matter?
At normal temperatures, phosphorus is a solid.
Why is nitrogen a gas and phosphorous is a solid at room temperature?
Nitrogen forms molecules N2, whereas phosphorus forms larger molecules such as P4.(Phosphorus has a number of allotropes). The underlying reason is that nitrogen a second period element can form double bonds to itself much better than P which is in period 3.
Why is nitrogen a diatomic gasious molecule while phasperous is a tetra atomic solid?
Yes, nitrogen is found as N2 and is a gas at room temperature whilst phosphorus is found as P4 and is a solid at room temperature.
How many elements in the nitrogen family are solids?
There are 4 nitrogen family elements that are solid at room temperature: phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.
How many nonmetals are in the nitrogen family?
2 of the Nitrogen family Are Non-MetalsNitrogen:- Non-metalPhosphorous:- Non-metalArsenic:-MetalloidAntimony:- MetalloidBismuth:- Metal

What is phosphorus a solid liquid or a gas at room temperature?
Phosphorus is a solid at room temperature. It exists in different allotropes, with white phosphorus being the most reactive and common form at room temperature.
What it is phosphorus's state of matter at room temperature?
Presumably, phoshophorus at room temperature, would be at ... room temperature. It would be solid and melt at 44.2°C (white phosphorus: 111.56°F) or 610°C (black phosphorus: 1130°F)
What it is phosphorus's state of matter?
At normal temperatures, phosphorus is a solid.
What gas is a member of the nitrogen family and has 16 neutrons?
The only element in nitrogen family with 16 neutrons is the element Phosphorus (symbol: P). However it is a solid at room temperature and not gas.
What is the temperature that phosphorus become solid?
Phosphorus is a solid chemical element up to 44,2 0C - the melting point of the allotrope white phosphorus.
Phosphorus a noble gas?
No. Phosphorus is solid at room temperature and is highly reactive.
Is nitrogen a solid?
Nitrogen can be obtained as a solid at very low temperature, under -210 0C. At room temperature nitrogen is a gas.
