What are the common oxidation states for Group 15 elements?
Think about nitrate and phosphates for hints.
Define the inert pair effect.
Consider how heavier elements behave differently than lighter ones.
What is the common oxidation state of nitrogen?
Think of ammonia.
True or False: The +5 oxidation state is more stable than +3 in bismuth.
Consider the group trends.
Given the increase in atomic size down Group 15, discuss the trends and stability of oxidation states in nitrogen compared to bismuth.
Consider how the inert pair effect plays out in larger atoms.
If you were to synthesize a new oxide involving sulfur, predict the possible oxidation states and their potential reactivity with water.
Relate sulfur’s behavior to other elements' properties in Group 16.
