phosphorus trifluoride
PF3 is a molecular compound. It consists of a covalent bond between phosphorus and fluorine atoms.
The oxidation number of phosphorus (P) in PF3 is +3. This is because fluorine (F) has an oxidation number of -1, and the overall molecule PF3 has a total charge of 0.
1.4 mol of phosphorus trifluoride (PF3) would contain 8.4 x 10^23 molecules, since each molecule of PF3 contains 4 atoms (1 phosphorus atom and 3 fluorine atoms). So, there would be 33.6 x 10^23 atoms in 1.4 mol of PF3.
covalent bond
PF3 is a trigonal pyramidal molecule with a central phosphorus atom bonded to three fluorine atoms, while PF5 is a trigonal bipyramidal molecule with a central phosphorus atom bonded to five fluorine atoms. The difference in their molecular structures arises from the difference in the number of bonded atoms surrounding the central phosphorus atom.
The chemical formula for phosphorus trifluoride is PF3.

To find the number of molecules of PF3, we need to convert 150.0 grams of PF3 to moles, then use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) to find the number of molecules. The molar mass of PF3 is approximately 87.97 g/mol. By dividing 150.0 g by the molar mass, we get the number of moles, which can be converted to molecules.
PCl3 has more polar bonds than PF3 because chlorine is more electronegative than fluorine, resulting in greater electron density towards chlorine in PCl3.
To determine the mass of F2 needed to produce 120 g of PF3, we first need to calculate the molar mass of PF3, which is approximately 88 g/mol (phosphorus = 31 g/mol, fluorine = 19 g/mol × 3). The balanced chemical reaction for producing PF3 from P and F2 is: P + 3F2 → PF3. Since the molar ratio of PF3 to F2 is 1:3, we need 3 moles of F2 for every mole of PF3 produced. Therefore, for 120 g of PF3, which is about 1.36 moles (120 g / 88 g/mol), we would require approximately 4.08 moles of F2, or about 164 g (4.08 moles × 38 g/mol for F2).
The chemical formula is PF3. The reaction with phsphorus is 2P + 3F2 -> 2PF3
The electron geometry ("Electronic Domain Geometry") for PF3 is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry, on the other hand, is Trigonal Pyramidal.
