7.1
The general characteristics of Group 15 elements are:
Electronic configuration: All Group 15 elements have 5 electrons in their valence The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns2 np3
Oxidation state: Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons and they require 3 more electrons to complete their However, the gaining of 3 electrons is difficult
Atomic size: Atomic size increases as we move down the group due to increase in the number of
Ionisation enthalpy: Ionisation enthalpy decreases as we move down the group because of increase in atomic
Electronegativity: Electronegativity decreases on moving down the group due to in
