Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?

Chemistry
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

The difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.

<h3>What is Concentration Gradient ?</h3>

A concentration gradient occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another.

In passive transport, particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, until they are evenly spaced.

This difference in an area with high concentration and an area with low concentration is called the concentration gradient.
