`NCl_(3)` gets readily hydrolysed while `NF_(3)` does not. Why ?

Answer» In `NCl_(3)`, Cl has vacant d-orbitals to accept the lone pair of electrons donated by O-atom of `H_(2)O` molecule but in `NF_(3)`, F does not have d-orbitals. Thus, `NCl_(3)` undergoes hydrolysis but `NF_(3)` does not.
`NCl_(3)+3H_(2)OtoNH_(3)+HOCl" , "NF_(3)+H_(2)Oto` No reaction
