The geometries of the molecules BF 3 and NF 3 are trigonal planar and trigonal pyramidal respectively. N has a non-bonding pair of valence electrons, while B does not. XeF 4 16. Assume ideal behavior. Significant intermolecular attractions exist between molecules.
High temperatures result in a significant decrease in pressures.
The solid is soluble in water. The solid is soluble in chloroform, CHCl 3 . The pure solid does not conduct electricity. An aqueous solution of the solid conducts electricity. When the solid is melted, the resulting liquid does not conduct electricity.
