Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecule and phosphorus as `P_(4)`. Why ?A. `N_(2)` has valence electrons only in bonding and nonbonding orbitals, while P has valence electrons in both bonding and antibonding orbitalsB. higher electronegativity of N favours formation of multiple bondsC. bigger size of P does not favour multiple bondsD. P has preference to adapt structures with small bond angles
