Nitrogen do not form Pentahalides because of the non-availability of d-orbitals..where as Phosphorus have vacant d-orbitals to form Pentahalides.Posted by Shyam Prasad (student) on 2/10/09.n the case of Bismuth, due to inert pair effect Bi 3+ will be much more stable, so it will not form a pentahalide (removal of the s-electrons is necessary for forming the 5+ cation, and due to poor shielding by d and f-orbitals the s-electrons will be very strongly held by the nucleus.
Diatoms And Silicon The ratio of carbon:nitrogen:silicon:phosphorus in diatom cells averages 106:15:16:1. Thus, diatoms require about the same amounts of nitrogen and silicon for growth.There is evidence that nitrogen:silicon ratios above 3:1 lessen the growth rate of diatoms.There also is an opinion that diatoms increase in abundance in proportion to other planktonic algae as the nitrogen:phosphorus ratio in water widens.uch sand consists of silica (silicon dioxide or SiO 2), and clay minerals are hydrous aluminum silicates. Natural waters contain silicon because of the dissolution of silicate minerals with which they come in contact.
