Question

What is the correct name of this covalent compound BF3?

Question 11 options:

dinitrogen trioxide


dinitrogen oxalate


nitrogen oxide


nitrogen(III) oxide

Answer 1

None of them. The correct name of the covalent compound is Boron Trifluoride.

Step-by-step explanation:

BF3 - due to there being 1 Boron atom and three fluorine atoms, we will name:

B - Boron

F3 - because there is three fluorine, we will put the tri- prefix in front of Fluorine and change the ending to -ide.

With that, you get Boron Trifluoride.
