At 25^ C , nitrogen exists as N ₂ and phosphorous exists as P ₄ because

Options

  1. AN ₂ has valence electrons only in bonding and nonbonding orbitals, while P has valence electrons in both bondi
  2. Bhigher electronegativity of N favours formation of multiple bonds
  3. Cbigger size of P does not favour multiple bonds
  4. DP has preference to adapt structures with small bond angles
