Another major use of bismuth has been as an ingredient in low-melting metal alloys, such as those used in firesprinkler systems and in typesetting. The element itself is a brittle white crystalline solid. How do these characteristicsfit with the fact that bismuth is in the same periodic group with such nonmetallic elements as nitrogenand phosphorus?

Look up antimony in the periodic table 1Z = 512. How many covalent bonds would you expect it to form? Based on this information, which of the following antimony compounds is covalent and which is ionic: SbCl3 or SbCl5?
When Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it, and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms.
