Question

For the IMAGINARY molecular compound fluorine tri nitride having the formula: FN3

which of the following correctly describes the number of atoms in one single molecule?

A)There are 3 atoms of fluorine for every 1 atoms of nitrogen.
B) There are 4 atoms of fluorine for every 1 atoms of nitrogen.
C) There is 1 atom of fluorine for every 1atom of nitrogen.
D) There are 1 atoms of fluorine for every 3 atoms of nitrogen.

Answer 1

The answer is D, There are 1 atoms of fluorine for every 3 atoms of nitrogen

Answer 2

The answer to your question is the letter D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

FN₃

Process

-When we are forming molecules, the oxidation numbers of the atoms cross.

- This means that if the oxidation number of fluorine is ⁺³, the oxidation number of Nitrogen is ⁻¹, and when we cross the oxidation numbers, the 3 will be the number of molecules of nitrogen and the number 1 will be the number of molecules of fluorine.

Conclusion

There is 1 atom of fluorine for every 3 atoms of nitrogen.
