Why SF6 behave inert towards hydrolysis?

Hydrolysis of SF₆ is thermodynamically feasible but due to high activation energy kinetically it is inert towards hydrolysis. Therefore SF₆ is used as inert gas /insulator in electric devices, which are used as high voltage.

Why PCl3 hydrolysed while NCl3 can not be hydrolysed?

PCl₃ hydrolysed due to the presence of vacant Orbital in phosphorus atom which can 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.
