Answer:
Nitrogen (7): 2, 5
Phosphorus (15): 2, 8, 5
Since, electronegativity decreases with moving from top to bottom in a group, thus Nitrogen will be more electronegative.

Nitrogen=2,7
phosphorus =2,8,5
Now
As we move from left to right in a periodic table period from the starting one had less electronegative as we increases at last the electronegativity increases .
Hope thse helps u to understand my ans ^_^
