Answer 1

25,000 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

• The electron-pair geometry around the Al atom is trigonal planar
• There is no lone pair(s) around the central atom the geometry is trigonal planar

Molecular geometry of aluminum trifluoride

One aluminum (Al) atom is joined to three fluorine (F) atoms to form aluminum trifluoride. Three areas of electron density encircle the center aluminum atom, creating a trigonal planar configuration. The fluorine atoms in this geometry are positioned around the aluminum atom at the corners of a hypothetical equilateral triangle.

Each Al-F bond angle in a trigonal planar configuration is roughly 120 degrees. It is noteworthy that the molecule has a flat structure, with the atoms surrounding the core aluminum atom being described by the trigonal planar geometry.
