Question
**Task:**

Decide which element probably forms a compound with hydrogen that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by hydrogen and phosphorus.

**Table: Comparing chemical formula of compound formed with hydrogen:**

|                           | Chlorine | Cesium | Iodine | Nitrogen |
|---------------------------|----------|--------|--------|----------|
| Most Similar to Phosphorus |    ◯     |   ◯    |   ◯    |    ◯     |
| Least Similar to Phosphorus|    ◯     |   ◯    |   ◯    |    ◯     |

**Explanation:**

The table displays a selection mechanism where different elements (chlorine, cesium, iodine, nitrogen) are evaluated for how similar their compounds with hydrogen are to that with phosphorus. These elements can be marked as either most similar or least similar using provided selection bubbles.
