In case of nitrogen,$NCl_3$ is possible but not $NCl_5$,while in case of phosphorus,$PCl_3$ as well as $PCl_5$ are possible. This is due to:
- AAvailability of vacant $d$-orbital in $P$ but not in $N$
- BLower electronegativity of $P$ than $N$
- CLower tendency of $H$-bond formation in $P$ than $N$
- DOccurrence of $P$ in solid while $N$ in gaseous state at room temperature
