Answer 1

To determine the total number of atoms in one formula unit of thallium (III) fluoride, TlF3, we need to consider the components in the formula:

- There is 1 thallium (Tl) atom.
- There are 3 fluoride (F) atoms.

Adding these together gives:

1 (Tl) + 3 (F) = 4 total atoms.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**4**
