${S b F}_{5}$
${N F}_{5}$

Question

Which of the following fluorides does not exist-displaystyle - AsF - 5 -displaystyle - PF - 5 -displaystyle - SbF - 5 -displaystyle - NF - 5 -

Nitrogen does not have empty 2d orbitals- Hence it is unable to form more than 4 bonds- Hence- NF5 doesn-apos-t exist but all other pentafluorides of 15 group elements exist as they have vacant d-orbitals-
