Why nitrogen don't form NCl5?

Answers

Answered by Akshara28

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. PCl5forms five bonds by using the d-orbitals to "expand the octet" and have more "places" to put bonding pairs of electrons.
