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.

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.
