accept lone pair from water molecule while NCl3 cannot hydrolyse due to
unavailability of vacant d-orbitals.

Phosphorus can form PCl5 but nitrogen can not form NCl5 why?
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.
Why PCl3 hydrolysed while NCl3 can not be hydrolysed?
