  Nitrogen - LoveToKnow 1911
In the combined state nitrogen is fairly widely distributed, being found in nitre, Chile saltpetre, ammonium salts and in various animal and vegetable tissues and liquids.
In a purer condition it may be obtained by the action of sulphuric acid on a mixture of potassium nitrate and ferrous sulphate, or of hydrochloric acid on a mixture of potassium nitrate and ferric chloride.
Nitrogen combines with hydrogen to form ammonia, NH 3, hydrazine, N 2 H 4, and azoimide, N 3 H (qq.v.); the other known hydrides, N 4 H 4 and N5H5, are salts of azoimide, viz.

 Nitrogen trichloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitrogen trichloride, also known as trichloramine, is a yellow, oily, pungent-smelling liquid, often found as a byproduct of chemical reactions between nitrogen-containing compounds and chlorine.
Purified nitrogen trichloride explodes on contact with organic compounds or catalytic surfaces, by impacts and shock waves, or by self-heating during its decomposition.
Nitrogen trichloride was trademarked as Agene and used to artificially bleach and age flour.

 Nitrogen triiodide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitrogen triiodide is a dark red compound, first characterized crystallographically in 1990, when it was prepared by an ammonia-free route.
Nitrogen trichloride and nitrogen tribromide are also unstable.
Nitrogen triiodide is the contact explosive used in Brainiac: Science Abuse, named "Peter Logan's Exploding Paste" on the show, although the details of its production are not mentioned for safety purposes.

The possible formation of nitrogen trichloride at a chloramination facility should be considered when selecting sites for the ammonia and chlorine storage facilities.
Formation of Nitrogen Trichloride If water in the distribution system tends to form nitrogen trichloride, the finished water should be subjected to post-aeration, which readily removes nitrogen trichloride (White, 1992).
Nitrogen trichloride is also readily destroyed by sunlight (White, 1992).

Studies of nitrogen trichloride are often hampered by breakpoint chlorination because the loss of dinitrogen is difficult to monitor.
Nitrogen trichloride is the last step in the chlorination of ammonia before breakpoint chlorination occurs.
In practice, one finds that the generation of nitrogen trichloride is always accompanied by a small amount of breakpoint chlorination.

 Safety and Health Topics: Nitrogen Trichloride
5) Nitrogen trichloride may be formed in small amounts during the process of disinfecting public water systems with monochloramine, produced by combining chlorine or hypochlorite and ammonia - a process now used in approximately 20% of U.S. public water systems (Skipton and Dvorak, 2002).
6) Pure nitrogen trichloride is very unstable and can explode violently "upon contact with organic chemicals or catalytic surfaces, by impact, by supersonic sound waves (shock waves), or simply by selfheating due to the decomposition reactions." (Dokter, 1985).

The pyramid formed by the z-principal axes of the three Cl nqcc tensors is somewhat 'flatter' than the molecular pyramid.

The three were asked to measure their peak expiratory flow (PEF), the maximum volume of air that they were able to force out of their lungs in a second, every two hours for two weeks.
In the third case, the person was not able to carry out the PEF checks in full because they suffered from wheezing within half an hour of arriving at the pool and had to use an inhaler.

They also say that if the chlorine is diluted with 1/3rd of air or CO2, no nitrogen trichloride forms, but not why.
You might like to try a variation, where a jar of chlorine is inverted in a conc solution of ammonium salt, and the liquid rises up as it absorbs chlorine and droplets of the oil fall to the bottom.
This seems to be the case because it wont even form in alkaline enviroments and the reaction evolves a lot of gas.

It does not react with argon or krypton at all, and although nitrogen trichloride is a known substance, I do not think it can be made by direct reaction between nitrogen and chlorine.

To take two other elements with almost identical electronegativity: the light metal, aluminium is much more reactive than the heavy metal tungsten, both as a simple substance, and in the general behaviour of its compounds.
