The element that can form multiple bonds with itself from the following is

Step-by-step solution

Among the given group-15 elements, nitrogen can form multiple bonds with itself. A strong multiple bonds are formed only when the overlapping is effective. i.e. overlapping orbitals are of similar energy and same symmetry. Nitrogen has small size and has 2 p orbitals (lower energy), shows p -p bonding. Whereas, in the heavier elements the overlapping orbitals are bigger and are very high in energy as atomic size increases down the group. Thus, in these cases, effective overlapping for p -p bond, does not takes plac
