There will be a total of 10 lone pairs of electrons. In NI3, each I will have 3 lone pairs (total of 9) and the N will also have 1 lone pair, for a grand total of 10 lone pairs.

What is the number of shared pairs of electrons in a molecule of NH3?

There are three bonds between Nitrogen and hydrogen and there are thus 3 shared bonding pairs of electrons. in addition since Nitrogen is 1s22s22p3 there are also the none bonding 1s2 electrons and the 2s2 electrons making 5 total shared pairs of electrons.


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.
