Solution

The correct option is A Repulsion between non-bonded electrons
The weak catenation property of nitrogen is due to lone pair repulsion of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen molecule.

Q. Correct order of electronegativity difference between bonded atoms is:

The properties like ionization potential, electronegativity, electron affinity and power of the catenation of the member in a group depend on many factors. For example, the smaller the size of the atom greater will be the ionization potential. At the same time symmetry in the electronic configuration of the elements also play a part in their ionization energy. Smaller the atomic size, greater will be the mutual electronic repulsion and lesser will be electron affinity. Similarly, the catenation which is a direct result of M - M bond strength is also affected by similar considerations.
