Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the phosphorus trifluoride (PF3) How many electron groups are around the central phosphorus atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central phosphorus atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.)

- Some formulas can be drawn multiple ways; molecules that share the same formula but have different structure are called isomers.

O Yes. O No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: O O No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* ■ Yes. No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* O Yes. O No, it has the wrong number of valence electrons. The correct number is: No, it has the right number of valence electrons but doesn't satisfy the octet rule. The symbols of the problem atoms are:* * If two or more atoms of the same element don't satisfy the octet rule, just enter the chemical symbol as many times as necessary. For example, if two oxygen atoms don't satisfy the octet rule, enter "0,0". X 3arrow_forwardhow would i approach thisarrow_forward
