Question

In 3-4 sentences, identify how the geometric structure of NF3 is different than that of NF4+. Explain how the geometry affects the ability of the molecules to experience a dipole affect.

Answer 1

Draw the lewis structure of NF3 and not the lone pair. Draw the NF4^+ and note the absence of a lone pair. You may be more familiar with drawing NH3 vs NH4^+.
