How many atoms of fluoride are there in one molecule of nitrogen trifluoride?

there are three Fluorine atom. This is because Nitrogen give 3 electron away but fluorine can only take 1. So nitrogen gives 1 neutron to 3 fluorine each which makes it a stable compound

Answer : The number of atoms of fluoride present in one molecule of [tex]NF_3[/tex] are, 3.

Explanation :

Molecule : It is defined as the smallest particle in an element or a compound which has chemical properties of that element or a compound.

Molecules are made up of atoms and the atoms are bonded by the sharing of electrons.

The given molecules is, [tex]NF_3[/tex]

The nitrogen trifluoride molecule is made up of two elements which are nitrogen and fluorine.

In the given molecules [tex]NF_3[/tex], there are 1 nitrogen atom and there are 3 fluorine atoms.

Hence, the number of atoms of fluoride present in one molecule of [tex]NF_3[/tex] are, 3.
