PCl3 and PCl5 both exist; NCl3 exists but NCl5 does not exist. It is due to:
- lower electronegativity of P than N
- lower tendency of N to form covalent bond
- availability of vacant d-obitals in P but not in N
- statement is itself incorrect
Answer
(C) availability of vacant d-obitals in P but not in N
