Group 15 Elements

Group 15 elements are also known as nitrogen group elements or nitrogen family

It consists of:

  • Nitrogen (N)
  • Phosphorus (P)
  • Arsenic (As)
  • Antimony (Sb)
  • Bismuth (Bi)
  • Moscovium (Mc)

They are present on the right side of the periodic table. All the elements are arranged based on their atomic weight. The elements with similar properties reside in a column called the group.

All Group 15 elements have the electron configuration ns2np3 in their outer shell, where n is the principal quantum number.
