Question

what is the name of the compound nf3?
nitrogen trifluoride
nitrogen fluoride

mononitrogen trifluoride

Explanation:

When naming binary covalent compounds, the prefixes indicate the number of atoms of each element. In \(NF_3\), there is 1 nitrogen atom (prefix "mono-" is often omitted for the first element when there's one atom) and 3 fluorine atoms (prefix "tri-"). So it's named nitrogen trifluoride.

Answer:

nitrogen trifluoride
