Detailed Solution

  • Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecule (N2​)  with triple bond between two N atoms and phosphorus as P4​.
  •  Nitrogen can form pπ−pπ multiple bonds
  •  Phosphorous cannot form such bonds due to repulsion between non bonded electrons of inner core.
  •  In case of nitrogen, there is no such repulsion as it has only 1s electrons in inner shell so that the overlap of p orbitals to form pi bonds is easy.
