The shape of the molecule depends on how many electrons and bonds you have in the outer shell of the central atom.
For NH3, N is the central atom. It has 3 covalent bonds and a lone pair. Thus the repulsion of the lone pair electrons and the bond electrons will force them to arrange at the corners of a tetrahedral. The molecule will look as a trigonal pyramid (since the lone pair is not "visible" in the structure.
<span>For BH3, B is the central atom and has no lone pair apart from the three bonds. So the repulsion of the bond electrons will force them to be in a planar trigonal arrangement.

A.) desertification is when you remove all the trees and most of the plant life in an ares
Since the Carbon C is 17.39% by mass hence the Fluorine F
is 82.61% by mass. Divide each mass % by the respective molar masses, that is:
C = 17.39 / 12 = 1.45
F = 82.61 / 19 = 4.35
Divide the two by the smaller number, so divide by 1.45
C = 1.45 / 1.45 = 1
F = 4.35 / 1.45 = 3
So the empirical formula is:
CF3
