The small size of the central nitrogen means the larger chloride atoms cannot approach close enough to form stable N-Cl bonds due to mutual repulsive forces becoming dominant.
it is due to the absence of vacant dorbitals in N atom

What molecules make up nitrogen molecule?
The chemical formula of nitrogen dioxide is NO2.
What is the mass of 1 molecule of nitrogen?
One molecule of nitrogen has a mass of approximately 4.65173 x 10-23 grams.
Why nitrogen pentafluoride does not exist?
Nitrogen does not form pentahalides due to the non availability of d orbitals in its valence shell.
Is nitrogen a molecule or an atom?
it could be described in both these ways but a molecule of nitrogen is more commonly used!! hope this helped
What is the chemical symbol for phosphorus pentachloride?
the pent in pentachloride refers to the chlorine in the molecule, therefore the molecular formula of the stated cemical is PCl5...although I'm not sure if this can exist because these two must form covalently (both need to gain electrons to gain full valence shell)
What is the correct name for NCl5?
Trinitrogen pentachloride It is a covalent bond, so you use prefixes tri- and penta-
Is nitrogen a molecule?
A Nitrogen molecule are two atoms of Nitrogen bonded by a covalent bond. The Nitrogen molecule is represented as N2.
Is nitrogen a compound or molecule?
Nitrogen is an element that is usually found alone as the N2 molecule. It is not a compound.
What has 3 atoms in each molecule?
Molecule of nitrogen has 3 atoms of nitrogen. Nitrogen molecule exist as N3.
What molecule is nitrogen found in?
Nitrogen is found in a number of molecules but perhaps most famously it is found in the DNA molecule.
How many atoms in nitrogen molecule?
Nitrogen is an element. It is usually found as the molecule N2 not N. Therefore there are two atoms of nitrogen in this molecule.
Is nitrogen an element or molecule?
Nitrogen is both an element and a molecule. In molecular form, Nitrogen forms a binary molecule N2 with a triple bond between the two Nitrogen atoms.
How is a nitrogen atom different from a nitrogen molecule?
A single nitrogen atom can be chemically reactive while a nitrogen molecule is relatively stable and tends to be faf more inert. A nitrogen molecule also has twice the mass of a nitrogen atom.
What is the force inside a molecule of nitrogen?
The molecule of nitrogen (N2) has three covalent bonds.
What type of molecule holds the nitrogen has?
The nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen held together by "covalent" bonds.
What molecules make up nitrogen molecule?
The chemical formula of nitrogen dioxide is NO2.
What is the meaning of N2and NO2and NO 3?
N2 = dinitrogen molecule NO2 = nitrogen dioxide molecule NO3 = nitrogen trioxide molecule
