Which set of elements have chemical properties similar to those of phosphorus? nitrogen, arsenic, and antimony

carbon, selenium, and iodine

silicon, sulfur, and germanium

silicon, sulfur, and chlorine

The set of elements that have chemical properties similar to those of phosphorus would be nitrogen, arsenic, and antimony.

Phosphorus will have similar chemical properties with nitrogen, arsenic, and antimony because they all belong to the same group in the periodic table.

All the elements belong to group 5A of the periodic table with 5 valence electrons in the outermost shells.

According to the periodic law, elements in the same group on the period table usually have similar physical or chemical properties.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The elements in option C. are part of the same family on the periodic table. Families are grouped by there properties which means that option C is the answer.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
