Carbon can not expand its valency beyond 4, because

Phosphorus can expand its valency. Why?

(A) N_(3)H exsist but not P_(3)H (R ) Nitrogen can form effective (P-d) pi bonds where as phosphorus cannot form such bonds

(A) Nitrogen can not form more than three bonds (R ) Nitrogen has three valence electrons.

(A) : PF_(5),PCl_(5) and PBr_(3) are known, the pentahalides of nitrogen have not been observed (R ) Phosphorous has lower electronegativity than nitrogen.

In case of nitrogen, NCl_(3) is possible but not NCl_(5) while in case phosphrous, PCl_(3) as well as PCl_(5) are possible. It is due to
