Molecule : It is defined as the smallest particle in an element or a compound which has chemical properties of that element or a compound.

Molecules are made up of atoms and the atoms are bonded by the sharing of electrons.

The given molecules is,
NF_3

The nitrogen trifluoride molecule is made up of two elements which are nitrogen and fluorine.

In the given molecules
NF_3, there are 1 nitrogen atom and there are 3 fluorine atoms.

Hence, the number of atoms of fluoride present in one molecule of
