The NN bond energy is huge (-ve) and formation will only be thermodynamically allowed if X-X is low -ve (the F-F bond strength is anomalously small) and the N-X bond energy is high (-ve). The N-F covalent bond is much stronger than the N-Cl bond due to better 2p-2p overlap.NCl3 can be made but is explosively unstable

the reason lies in the difference of size . N-Cl bond is weak and N-F bond is strong. So it is exothermic
