The element nitrogen would be expected to form covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Use the octet rule to predict the formula of the compound that would form between nitrogen and hydrogen , if the molecule contains only one nitrogen atom and only single bonds are formed. Formula:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The compound formula will be "NF₃". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

  • Nitrogen seems to have an electrical structure consisting of 1S², 2S² as well as 3S² and it requires three electrons to fulfill or conclude the octet. This will, therefore, form three bonds (covalent).
  • Even though only single nitrogen has been present, that can only represent a single bond including fluorine. Therefore the methodology for something like the compound would be NF₃.

So that the above would be the right answer.
