Because Nitrogen (N) can only have up to 3 bonds. There is no way to arrange 5 bonds around the nitrogen atom. p.s. I think there is more to this answer but i don't really know, something about the orbital.

Why PCl5 is used in organic rections than NCl5?
The fact that NCl5 does not exist might come into play. Think about it. NCl5 does not exist
What is the correct name for NCl5?
Trinitrogen pentachloride It is a covalent bond, so you use prefixes tri- and penta-
Does 2d orbital exist?
No... it orbital 2d does not exist.
Is all the atoms cannot exist in free state?
Atoms cannot exist in a free state on their own, but can exist in a free state as molecules.
Compound CCl6 exist or not?
CCl6 doesn't exist. CCl4 and and C2Cl6 do however.
Why ncl5 doesn't exist?
This is due to the vacant d orbital as N lies in 2nd period

Pcl5 is formed but Ncl5 is not formed why?
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
Why does the compound ncl5 not exist?
Carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons, so it can form only 4 bonds. CBr5 would require carbon to form 5 bonds. A molecule composed of carbon and bromine atoms would be CBr4, which is carbon tetrabromide.
Are length and area of a sector?
Yes, they are: they do exist. Yes, they are: they do exist. Yes, they are: they do exist. Yes, they are: they do exist.
Can you exist and not exist?
No, it is a logical contradiction to both exist and not exist simultaneously. Existence implies being, while non-existence implies lack of being. These states are mutually exclusive.
