Which element has similar chemical properties to nitrogen?
elements in the same group as nitrogen will have similar CHEMICAL properties because they have the same number of electrons in the outer shell. (this is according to Bohrs model of the atom, if you want a real confusing answer about valence shells etc. go look at quantam mechanics) So elements in group 7 are phosphurus, arsenic, selenium, tellurium, polonium, these will react with the same chemicals to from similar compounds however they are all solids unlike nitrogen. Elements with similar PHYSICAL properties are elements that are present as gases at room temperature (like nitrogen is) oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, hydrogen and all of group 8 the noble or inert gasses (although inert isn't really a valid term as they can react in the correct conditions)
What do the properties of compound depend on?
what controls the properties of a compound
What happens when a hydrogen atom covalently bonds to one oxygen or nitrogen atom is attracted to another oxygen or nitrogen atom?
hyrdrogen bonds.
What is an aluminum atom?
An atom is simply the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element. An aluminum atom, is simply that, the smallest part of aluminum having the chemical properties of aluminum.
How is selenium similar to sulfur?
yes, an oxygen atom have the same number of valence electrons as a selenium atom.
An atom the would show very similar properties to oxygen?
I don't know. I'm asking YOU that question.
What is the smallest particle of an element that still has the same chemical properties?
The smallest particle of matter that keeps all the same properties of oxygen is an oxygen atom. If you mean oxygen gas, O2, then it would be a molecule of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded.
What are properties of an atom of oxygen?
oxygen typically has 8 neutrons and 8 protons and it has 8 electrons
Why is sulfur atom similar to oxygen atom?
Because it has 6 electrons in its outer shell, just like oxygen.
What are the structural differences normal atmospheric oxygen and ozone molecules?
Ozone and oxygen are a bit similar. Ozone is a 3 atom and oxygen is 2 atom.
What is the smallest unit showing properties of the element Protons and Neutrons in nucleus?
The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Where on a periodic table is one atom that has similar properties of sodium?
The atom right under it and in sodiums family; potassium.
Which Lewis dot diagram shows an atom that needs 2 or more electrons in its outermost shell?
It is oxygen group elements
Why does an isotope have the same chemical properties as a typical atom?
Almost all the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the valence shell electrons or in general, by the no of electrons present in the atom. Since in an isotope and a general atom, no. of electrons is same, therefore they have similar chemical properties. Isotopes differ in atomic mass only and that is due to extra neutrons.
How many atoms of oxygen can be found in a hydronium molecule?
One: The formula for hydronium is H3O+1, which shows only one oxygen atom.
Different isotopes of an atom retain the properties of the atom?
Yes, different isotopes of an atom retain the properties of the atom.
How salts dissolve in water?
A water molecule is formed up by 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Due to their non-metal properties, the bond that formed between them is considered as covalent bond, which enables them to share their octet electron and achieve stability. Both hydrogen and oxygen atoms are negativly charges, however, the oxygen shows it electronegativity higher than the hydrogen atom. Thus the hydrogen atoms will be atttrated towards the oxygen and this create a slight change in their charges. The oxygen shows electronegativity whereas the hydrogen shows a slight electropositivity. When the salt(sodium chloride) approaches the water molecule, sodium ions (Na+) will be attracted to the hydrogen atoms whereas the chlorine ion (Cl -) will be attracted to the oxygen atom. Thus, the sodium chloride is being decomposed and dissloved.
