    Phosphorus forms PCl5 due to the availability of vacant d-orbitals to accept electron pairs from chlorine. Nitrogen does not exhibit this behavior because it lacks d-orbitals that could extend its oxidation state. The document discusses how the presence or absence of d-orbitals allows phosphorus but not nitrogen to increase its oxidation state and form compounds like PCl5.

    Sol.

    Phosphorus forms PCl5 due to availability of vacant d orbital though white P can
    extend its oxidation state but this is not applicable in case of N due to unavailability of d
    orbitals.
