Answer: because a mole is based on Avogrado's number, which is 6.02 x 10²³ particles. It isn't possible to directly count that many particles at a time.
The neutrons take up most of the space of an atom
Answer:
Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.
The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.
CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:
4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2
It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.
