Nitrogen form N2, but phosphorous  form P2, it's at a time convert in P4, reason is:

1. Triple bond present between phosphorous atoms. 
2. pπ-pπ bonding is weak in phosphorous.
3. pπ-pπ bonding is strong in phosphorous.
4. Multiple bonds easily form phosphorous.

NH3 forms a hydrogen bond but PH3 does not because:  

1. Phosphorus is more electronegative as compared to nitrogen.
2. Nitrogen is more electronegative as compared to phosphorus.
3. Nitrogen and phosphorous have equal electronegativity.
4. Nitrogen is more stable as compared to phosphorus.

Nitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule and phosphorus as P4 because on moving 

1. up a group, the tendency to form pπ−pπ bonds decreases.
2. down a group, the tendency to form pπ−pπ bonds decreases.
3. down a group, the tendency to form dπ−dπ bonds decreases.
4. up a group, the tendency to form dπ−dπ bonds decreases.

Fluorine forms only one oxoacid, HOF because of -

1. Low electronegativity and small size

2. High electronegativity and small size

3. High electronegativity and big size

4. Low electronegativity and big size

Oxygen forms hydrogen bonds while chlorine does not, because :

1. Chlorine has a bigger size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume.
2. Oxygen has a smaller size and as a result, a lower electron density per unit volume.
3. Oxygen has a smaller size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume.
4. Oxygen has a bigger size and as a result, a higher electron density per unit volume.
