Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding group 15 elements?

• A. As we go down the group metallic character increases
• B. Antimony has the highest boiling point
• C. From N to As the melting point increases and from As to Bi it decreases
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Physical properties of group 15 elements:
1. All the elements of group 15 except Bi are ​polyatomic.
2. On moving down the group, metallic character increases.
3. The correct order of boiling point is $N<P<As<Bi<Sb$
4. From N to As the melting point increases and from As to Bi it decreases.
Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
