Single `N-N` bond is weaker than the single `P-P` bond. This is because of `:`
A. larger `N-N` bodn length in comparison to `P-P` bond length.
B. high interelectronic repulsion of the non`-` bondioni electrons, owing to the small `N-N` bond length in comparison to that in that in `P-P` single bond.
C. Higher electronegativity of N in comparison to P.
D. smaller atomic size of N as compared to that of P.
