N​​​​​​2 is exist as diatomic molecule in which two nitrogen atoms are attached to each other by triple bond this triple bond is due to p(π)-p(π) multiple bonding (sidewise overlapping) and such bonding is not possible in phosphorus due to it's large size but possible in nitrogen due to it's small size.

In case of phosphorus four atoms are associated so it have high molecular mass, large magnitude of venderwall forces so phosphorus is solid and nitrogen is gas.
