a) Because the X-X bond present in interhalogens is weaker than the X-X bond present in halogens as the overlapping between orbitals of dissimilar atoms is less effective.
b) PCl5 exists because phosphorus can extend its covalency to five using empty 3d orbitals.
As d orbitals are not present in the valence shell of nitrogen , it can not form NCI5
c) As it has bigger size and lower conization enthalpy than the other noble gases.
