Question

How many atoms of fluorine are present in a molecule of carbon tetrafluoride, cf4?

Answer 1

Answer : The number of atoms of fluorine are present in a molecule of carbon tetrafluoride are, 4 atoms.

Explanation :

Molecules : It is defined as the group of atoms which are bonded together and they represent the smallest fundamental unit of chemical compound.

It can be molecules of element (combination of same kind of atoms) or molecules of compound (combination of different kind of atoms).

The given molecule is carbon tetrafluoride and the chemical formula of carbon tetrafluoride is, $CF_4$

In carbon tetrafluoride, there are 1 number of carbon atom and 4 number of fluorine atoms.

Hence, the number of atoms of fluorine are present in a molecule of carbon tetrafluoride are, 4 atoms.

Answer 2

There are four atoms of fluorine present
