Why the catenation property of nitrogen is less than phosphorun?

the single N-N bond is weaker than the single P-P born due to high electronic repulsion of the non bonding electrons in N two owing to small Bond length. Therefore the catination property is weaker the nitrogen as compared to a phosphorun

Answer:
Catenation is much more common in phosphorous compounds than in nitrogen compounds. This is because of the relative weakness of the N−N single bond as compared to the P−P single bond. Since nitrogen atom is smaller, there is greater repulsion of electron density of two nitrogen atoms, thereby weakening the N−N single bond.
