Answer:
BF3
Explanation:
For this question, you need to use the number of valence electrons present in each element. Boron is in group 3/13 on the periodic table so you know it has 3 valence electrons while Fluorine is in group 7/17 so it has 7 valence electrons. These elements are both covalent so they will share electrons. All elements in the first three rows want to reach either have 8 valence electrons or zero valence electrons depending on whichever is easier. When B and F interact each Fluorine will only want to take one electron, but Boron wants to get rid of all 3 electrons, so it will bond with 3 Fluorine to get rid of all its valence electrons.
I hope this helps.
Covalent bonds are formed when 2 neutral atoms come together to share a pair of electrons, where each atom contributes one electron each to be shared.
The covalent bond is kept together by the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared pair of electrons.
Covalent bonds are usually formed between non metals with a small difference in their electro negativity.
the correct answer is
A. Neutral atoms coming together to share electrons

4 Hydrogen Atoms should be correct. Because the 4 infront of it signifies the amount of hydrogen. It would also be 4 hydrogen atoms if it were written as H4N3, because the 4 is still around the H (as long as the 4 is under scored)
