s²p3?

Answer 1

Group 5A

Step-by-step explanation:

• Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
• Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
• For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
• Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.
