NCl5 does not exist bcoz nitrogen atom does not have d-orbitals to accomodate electrons from chlorine atoms and nitrogen cant accomodate more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. so its covalency exists only upto four....

pcl5 exists bcoz phosphorus atom has vacant d orbitals to accomodate electrons and thus pcl5 exists
