Question

Why nitrogen is gas where as phosphorus is solid at room temperatue?

Answer 1

Explanation:Due to larger atomic size it does not form pi bonds with itself. Hence, in P4 molecule P forms sigma bond with other phosphorous atoms. ... So, since the force of attraction between Phosphorous molecules is high and that between Nitrogen molecules is low, Phosphorous is a solid while Nitrogen is a gas.
