Expert Answer
Nitrogen,phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.
Nitrogen-nitrogen triple bonds are much stronger than phosphorus-phosphorus triple bonds.
P-P single bonds are stronger than N-N single bonds.
Phosphorus can expand its valence shell to hold more than eight electrons, but nitrogen cannot.
P4 is less electronegative than nitrogen and phosphorus is more likely to exhibit positive oxidation numbers.
Common Oxidation Numbers of Phosphorus are -3, +3, and +5.
