Question: how many atoms of fluorine are in cf4?
Answer: A molecule of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 , is made up of 1 carbon atom bonded to 4 fluorine atoms. Each carbon atom weighs 12.0 amu and each fluorine atom weighs 19.0 amu so 1 CF4 molecule weighs 1×12.0 amu + 4×19.0 amu = 88.0 amu. This number, 88.0, is called the molecular weight (or molecular mass) of CF4.
