Detailed Solution

In N2 molecule, there is triple bond between two N atoms because size of N is small and there is less repulsion is faced by inner core electrons.  Therefore, its atomicity is 2. Whereas phosphorus cannot form N2 like bond because of its large size and repulsion due to inner core electrons. Therefore, P exists as P4, and its atomicity becomes 4.
