Question

An element $$\left( X \right)$$  forms compounds of the formula $$XC{l_3},{X_2}{O_5}$$    and $$C{a_3}{X_2}$$  but does not form $$XC{l_5}.$$  Which of the following is the element $$X?$$

A. $$B$$
B. $$Al$$
C. $$N$$  
D. $$P$$
Answer :   $$N$$
Solution :
Nitrogen can form $$NC{l_3},{N_2}{O_5}C{a_3}{N_2}$$     and not $$NC{l_5}$$  since it has no $$d$$  atomic orbitals in valence shell
