Question
Chapter 6, Problem 5SAQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To find out the correct Lewis structure of nitrogen trifluoride.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure has many names, they are known as Electron dot structure, Lewis dot formula, Lewis dot diagram, Lewis electron dot structures. It will represent the lone pairs and bonding of atoms and molecules. The electrons represented here is equal to the sum of valence electrons. There are dots and lines to represent the bonding or sharing of electrons. In this non-valence electron are not represented.
