Answer:
As nitrogen atom is smaller, there is greater repulsion of electron density of two nitrogen atoms, which in turnweaken the N-N single bond and decreases the tendency of nitrogen toshow catenation. ... Thus higher the stability of single bond between the same atom more will be its affinity to undergo catenation.

Because of the high interelectronic repulsion of the non bonding electrons, owing to the a
small bond length .as a result , catenation tendency is weaker in nitrogen.
