The compound with formula NiF

3 is an ionically

bonded salt between an active metal and the very electronegative fluorine. Fluorine always has an oxidation state of -1 in its compounds, but nickel can have either a +2 or +3 oxidation state. To be a compound, overall electrical neutrality is required. Therefore, the compound is named "nickel (III) fluoride".
