Answer is:-
According to which as we go down the group the size of the atom increases and as a result stability of +5 oxidation state is reduced and +3 oxidation state id dominant and thus BiCl5 doesn't exist.
Hope it helps you dear......xd

Answer:
Bismuth due to inert pair effect exist with only +3 oxidation state. +5 oxidation state is uncommon for Bi. So bismuth does not form pentahalide. But due to the small size and high electronegativity of fluorine only BiF exist.
