What is the electron geometry for NF3?
Tetrahedral
Is NF3 a trigonal pyramidal?
The shape of NF3 is trigonal pyramidal because Flourine bonds to nitrogen three times leaving nitrogen with a left over bond pair of electrons.
Balance the following n2 plus f2 equals nf3?
N2 + 3F2 ==> 2NF32N, 6F on each side of the equation. It can help to create a table system for more complex equations.
Why ammonia has larger bond angle than nf3?
in ammonia as N has mre e.n. than H,bond pair of electrons are more towards it which causes repulsion with lone pair of electrons,and they tend o move away but in nf3 bond pair of electrons are away from flourine so they can have lesser bond angle
What is the electron geometry for NF3?
Tetrahedral
What is the electron geometry of NF3?
i think its tetrahedral
What type of bond is NF3?
polar
What type of bond between flouride and nitrogen?
It is a covalent bond (as in NF3)
Does NF3 have unequal bond lengths?
yes it dose
Is NF3 a covalent or ionic bond?
Covalent
What is the bond angle of nitrogen trifuoride?
Nitrogen trifluoride is a planar molecule. The nitrogen atom is directly bonded with three fluorine atoms on the same plane. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a bond angle of 120 degrees. I think there is confusion with boron trifluoride. The actual measured bond angle of NF3 is 102.50 In VSEPR theory (Valence shell electron pair theory) the number of electron pairs around the nitrogen are counted and there are four. If all of pairs were identical as in methane for instance, then the bond angle would be the tetrahedral angle of 109.5 0 however the lone pair decreases the other angles slightly
Will N and F form a covalent bond?
Yes, they form a polar covalent bond e.g. in NF3
What is the shape of the molecul nitrogen trifluoride?
NF3 has trigonal pyramidal shape. Around nitrogen, there are 1 lone pair electron and 3 bond pair electrons. The lone pair-bond pair electron repulsion is greater than bond pair-bond pair electron repulsion. The angle between N-F bond pairs are 107 degrees
Is NF3 a trigonal pyramidal?
The shape of NF3 is trigonal pyramidal because Flourine bonds to nitrogen three times leaving nitrogen with a left over bond pair of electrons.
What is the geometry shape of NF3?
Triangular PyramidIt should look like NH3 or almost like CH4 where the carbon s replaced by a nitrogen and one of the hydrogens is missing. Since there is a lone pair that pushes the 3 fluorines lower, thus making the angle smaller. Since the angle is smaller, it can no longer be a tetrahedron. Thus, it is a triangular pyramid.
