Why is N-N bond weaker than P-P bond

  • 1 answers

Ans. Nitrogen does not have D orbitals whereas Phosphorus on the other hand can expand itself into the d-orbital and thus can share all 5 of it's outer shell electrons.Also Due to small size of Nitrogen, there is a lot of inter-electronic repulsion. So the N-N single bond is very weak.
