The nitrogen group or nitrogen family (also known as the pentals) in the periodic table includes the six chemical elements of group 15: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and moscovium (Mc). These elements have five valence electrons.
Nitrogen is the lightest element in the nitrogen group. In this group, two elements (nitrogen and phosphorus) are reactive nonmetals, two elements (arsenic and antimony) are metalloids, and bismuth is a post-transition metal.
