Question:

The density of nitrogen gas prepared from air is slightly greater than that of nitrogen prepared by a chemical reaction from a compound of nitrogen due to the presence of the following in aerial nitrogen

Updated On: Jul 7, 2022
  • Argon
  • $CO_2$
  • Some nitrogen molecules analogous to $O_2$
  • Greater amount of nitrogen molecules derived from $N^{15}$ isotope

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

he density of nitrogen obtained from air (after the removal of $N_2, CO_2$, moisture etc.) is higher than nitrogen obtained chemically. This is due to the presence of heavier argon in the aerial nitrogen

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.
