Question

How many atoms of fluoride are there in one molecule of nitrogen trifluoride?

Answer 1

Answer : The number of atoms of fluoride present in one molecule of $NF_3$ are, 3.

Explanation :

Molecule : It is defined as the smallest particle in an element or a compound which has chemical properties of that element or a compound.

Molecules are made up of atoms and the atoms are bonded by the sharing of electrons.

The given molecules is, $NF_3$

The nitrogen trifluoride molecule is made up of two elements which are nitrogen and fluorine.

In the given molecules $NF_3$, there are 1 nitrogen atom and there are 3 fluorine atoms.

Hence, the number of atoms of fluoride present in one molecule of $NF_3$ are, 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

there are three Fluorine atom. This is because Nitrogen give 3 electron away but fluorine can only take 1. So nitrogen gives 1 neutron to 3 fluorine each which makes it a stable compound
