a section of the periodic table is shown below:

periodic table showing three rows. row 1: boron (b), carbon (c), nitrogen (n), oxygen (p), fluorine (f), neon (ne). row 2: aluminum (al), silicon (si), phosphorus (p), sulfur (s), chlorine (cl), argon (ar). row 3: gallium (ga), germanium (ge), arsenic (as), selenium (se), bromine (br), krypton (kr).

which of the following elements has properties similar to n?

b
o
p
si

Phosphorus

Explanation:

The elements in same group shows similar properties.

Nitrogen family contain nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are present in group 15 and show similar properties.

Both are nommetals.

Both make similar type of compounds.

Both have five valance electrons.

Both form common anion with charge of -3.

Both are used in fertilizers.

Both are used in explosive material.

With carbon, hydrogen, oxygen both nitrogen and phosphorus are found in living system.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
