Hello Student
NCl3 is endothermic compound because of its high enthalpy of formation due to large difference in sizes of N and Cl atoms. This large difference makes N-Cl bond weak, while in NF3 the sizes of atoms are not so different, therefore N-F bond is strong and thus it is an exothermic compound.

NF3 is exothermic due to negligible and strong N F bonds while In NCl3 nitrogen can`t accommodate big sized cl atoms . so its endothermic
