Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
Are chemical properties of oxygen more similar to sulfur or fluorine?
it is sulfur
What is the difference between nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide?
No. Nitrogen dioxide is a compound of nitrogen an oxygen, meaning that the two elements are chemical bonded together to form a different chemical with its own unique set of properties. In a mixture the nitrogen and oxygen would not be bonded to each other and would retain their individual properties.
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.
Which has more outer electrons phosphorus or silicon?
phosphorus
Will the properties of nitrogen be more similar to the properties of neon or phosphorous?
Nitrogen and phosphorus have the same number of valence electrons (five) and will have similar properties.
Why is the properties of nitrogen more similar to the properties of phosphorus?
They both are in the 15th period. They have 5 valence electrons. Both form trioxides and pentoxides.
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.
Why does only phosphorus have valency more than 4?
No. Nitrogen does, as well.
Why is the phosphorus cycle slower than the nitrogen cycle?
It occurs more slowly because phosphorus rarely occurs as a gas.
Why is nitrogen more electronegative than phosphorus?
Chlorine is more electronegative than phosphorus. Generally, the trend of the periodic table is that electronegativity increases as you go from left to right, and it decreases as you go down.
Why are the electrons in nitrogen and phosphorus covalent bond not shared equally?
The electrons in a nitrogen-phosphorus covalent bond are NOT shared equally because as you go down the Periodic Table, electronegativity decreases. This means since Phosphorous is below Nitrogen it has less electrons bonded to itself and more electrons bonded closer to Nitrogen due to the fact that Nitrogen is above Phosphorus and has higher electronegativity (remember electronegativity is a measure of how much an atom attracts an electron); therefore, this is why more electrons spend more time around Nitrogen.
Does vanadium have properties more similar to titanium or to iron?
Vanadium properties are more similar to titanium.
How do the atomic radius and metallic properties of sodium compare to the atomic radius and metallic properties of phosphorus?
Sodium has a larger atomic radius and is more metallic.
Why does the reactivity of nitrogen differ from phosphorus?
Nitrogen is chemically less reactive. This is because of the high stability of its molecule, N2. In N2, the two nitrogen atoms form a triple bond. This triple bond has very high bond strength, which is very difficult to break. It is because of nitrogen's small size that it is able to form pπ−pπ bonds with itself. This property is not exhibited by atoms such as phosphorus. Thus, phosphorus is more reactive than nitrogen.
Can properties of the elements in a period be very similar?
They can, however in Groups the properties are much more similar.
What does NPK stand for?
(N)Nitrogen (P)Phosphorus (K)Potassium The NPK percentage is usually shown in plant fertilizers. Chemical fertilisers have more NPK than natural fertilisers.
