- Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless element
Economic Uses Video
- Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of the air
- Phosphorus has three different colors, (From least radioactive to most radioactive) Black, Red, and White/Yellow
- Bismuth is the heaviest non-radioactive naturally occurring element.

Nitrogen combines with oxygen in the presence of lighting or spark. The electric energy from these sources cause nitrogen and oxygen to form nitric oxide.

White phosphorus is highly reactive. It combines with oxygen so easily that it catches fire automatically. It also combines easily with halogens. Lastly, phosphorus combines with metals to form compounds known as phosphides.

Arsenic:
Nitrogen is used for protecting historical documents. This element is also used in explosives. Phosphorus is used in fine china and used for special glasses. It is also used to make baking soda. Arsenic is used in the preservation of wood. Antimony is used in making metals and used in batteries. The last element of the group, Bismuth, is used in the pigments of cosmetics.
When heated in air, arsenic combines with oxygen to form arsenic oxide. This produces a blue flame and garlic-like odor.
Antimony:
Antimony dissolves in hot acids and in aqua regia. Aqua regia is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids.

Antimony was discovered around 3,000 B.C.

Examples of compounds used with antimony:
- Nitrogen is obtained from liquified air through the process fractional distillation
- Black Phosphorus is obtained by heating white phosphorus under high pressures
- Most Arsenic is obtained by heating arsenopyrite
- Antimony is found free in nature, but also is obtained from ores stibnite (Sb2S3) and valentinite (Sb2O3)

How did antimony get its name?
When Phosphorus Was Discovered
Phosphorus was discovered in 1669, by a german physician named Hennig Branda.
It is from the Greek word "anti" and "monos" which together mean "not alone". Its chemical symbol comes from its historic name stibium.

How Nitrogen Got It's Name
When Nitrogen Was Discovered
Nitrogen got it's name from a mineral known as "niter". This mineral, also known as potassium nitrate, makes up nitrogen.
Nitrogen was discovered in the 1770's by a Scottish physician and chemist named Daniel Rutherford.
