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.
