How many molecules total do nf3 has around the central atom?
In NF3, the Nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons and each Fluorine atom shares 1 more electron with Nitrogen. That makes 8 electrons (4 pairs of electrons) around Nitrogen. Betweent the four electron pairs, 3 pairs are bonded with Fluorine and the other one is a lone pair. Therefore around the central atom Nitrogen, there are three Fluorine atoms and a lone electron pair.
When two nitrogen atoms bond-they share three pairs of valence electrons. Why does this happen?
It happens so that each nitrogen atom can have 8 electrons (an octet), which is a stable form. It results in a nitrogen triple bonded to another nitrogen, and then each nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons. :N triple bond N:
How many single or lone pair of electrons nitrogen have?
There are 3 unpaired electrons in an isolated nitrogen atom, the nitrogen molecule has none.
Substances with lone pairs on central atom?
Ammonia NH3 one lone pair on Nitrogen, Water H2O two lone pairs on Oxygen.
In the Lewis structure for a molecule of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) how many lone pairs of electrons does chlorine have when it is bonded to carbon?
Two lone pair on the central selenium and three lone pairs on each chlorine. So total of eight lone pairs.
How many lone pairs of electrons does nitrogen have?
There is one lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom.

What is the name given to the pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in bonding ina diatomic oxygen molecules?
These pairs of electrons are referred to as lone pairs.
How many lone pairs of electrons persent in a molecule of ammonia?
There is one lone pair of electrons in a molecule of ammonia: The single nitrogen atom in the molecule has five valence electrons; one of these is in a covalent bond with each of the three hydrogen atoms; and the remaining two valence electrons from the nitrogen atom constitute a lone pair.
How many lone pairs of electrons exist on the central atom in ammonia?
One lone pair. The central atom is N (nitrogen) which has 5 valence electrons. Three of them are shared with 3 hydrogen atoms, leaving 2 electrons (1 lone pair) on the N.
Atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons. True or false?
True. Nitrogen can share three pairs of electrons and has a lone pair of electrons for a total of eight in it's valence shell
How many lone pairs are in neon?
Four pairs of electrons. Neon has a full octet.

How many lone pairs are there on nitrogen?
Two lone pair
