This course continues the study of the periodic trends in the properties of the elements, specifically focusing on the p-block elements. It covers the chemistry of Groups 14, 15, and 17, comparing their properties with those of the s-block elements. Topics include occurrence, extraction, uses, chemical and physical properties, oxides, hydrides, halides, and anomalous behaviors. The course also explores nitrogen cycle, nitrogen fixation, and phosphate fertilizers.
