Describe N (nitrogen) according to this plan: 1) Compare nitrogen with neighboring elements in a subgroup

Describe N (nitrogen) according to this plan: 1) Compare nitrogen with neighboring elements in a subgroup (which element is stronger and why) 2) Compare nitrogen with neighboring elements in the period (which element is stronger and why)

Nitrogen belongs to the fifth group of the second period. Its group neighbors are phosphorus. 1) In the series of electronegativity of non-metals, nitrogen is to the right of phosphorus, because its activity is higher. The activity of non-metals decreases from top to bottom, that is, with an increase in the period. 2) nitrogen neighbors in the period are carbon on the left, oxygen on the right. During the period, activity increases from left to right, that is, with an increase in the group. Therefore, nitrogen is stronger than carbon, but weaker than oxygen, which is also reflected in the series of electronegativity of non-metals.
