NF3 is possible, but NF5 is not. Why?

उत्तर
According to the electronic configuration of nitrogen, it does not have 3d orbital that's why it can't expand the valency up to 5 and does not form .
N does not have vacant d orbitals. Hence, there is no excitation of ns2 electron to vacant orbitals. Thus, has only three unpaired electrons in p-orbitals showing +3 oxidation state and not +5 in halides like other elements of group.
