Answer:
The reason for the unstability of other trihalides are the bigger size of halogen atom as compared to nitrogen atom. ... Due to larger size difference in N and halogen the N-X bond becomes weaker hence compound become unstable...

Explanation:
Nitrogen has very small size as compared to the halogens, which have much larger sizes. Due to this, they can not remain bonded to the nitrogen atom and hence are highly unstable. NF3 is stable because fluorine and nitrogen have comparable sizes and electronegativity.
