N7- 1s22s22p3
P15-1s22s22p63s23p3
We know, electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
From electronic configuration we see N has 2 valance shells and P has 3 valance shells i.e., size of P is more than N. So nuclear charge of N is more than P i.e., it can attract easily. Thus, N is more electronegative than P. The given statement is true. Ans-1
