PCl5 exists but NCl5 does not because

Answers

Answered by sanskarkasrawad

Answer:

PCl5 forms five bonds by using the d-orbitals to "expand the octet" and have more places to put bonding pairs of electrons. NCl5 does not exist because there are no d-orbitals in the second energy level. Therefore there is no way to arrange five pairs of bonding electrons around a nitrogen atom.
