Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.
C most likely sorry if I’m wrong
Answer:
(3) NaNO₃
Step-by-step explanation:
Sodium nitrate has ionic bonds, because it consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.
However, the nitrate ions have <em>covalent bonds</em> between the O atoms and the central N atoms.
(1) and (2) are <em>wrong</em>. Both N₂O₅ and HCl consist of nonmetals, so they are <em>covalent</em> compounds.
(4) is <em>wrong</em>. NaCl has <em>only ionic bonds</em> between the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions
The answer is B hope this helped
