pcl3 , pbr3 , pi3 may have the back – bonding concepts associated with them, as there are the vacant d orbitals present in the Halogen atom and p atoms from the P atom.Because the back bonding is the overlapping of the p orbitals ovr d orbitals.
Absence of these orbtals would not show the definte back bonding.

NF3 can not show back bonding due to the absence of d-orbital in nitrogen. Since back bonding decreases with increase in size of the surrounding atom PCl3, PBr3, PI3 rarely shows back bonding. Only PF3 shows back bonding

NF3 PF3 > PCl3 > PBr3 > PI3 ...in accordance with the Lewis Acid
