Nitrogen can not form p(pi) - d(pi) bond because of absence of d-orbitals in its valence shell. But Phosphorus, Arsenic etc can form p(pi) - d(pi) bonds. If we consider the bonding in case of SO2, S atom undergoes sp2 hybridisation. Here, the multiple bonding is due to p(pi) - p(pi) or p(pi) - d(pi) bonding.
