Question

A certain compound is made up of one carbon (C) atom, two fluorine (F) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom. What is the chemical formula of this compound?

Answer 1

CF₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how the molecule will be made think about the valence number of each element in molecule:

F= -1 , O= -2 , C= +4

because the C is positive atom it will be the central atom with a double bond to the O and a single bond to each F.

this way all atoms completed the octet and stability
