Amolecule of a covalent compound contains three atoms of fluorine (f) and one atom of boron (b). what is the correct molecular formula and chemical name of the compound described in this statement? f3b; boron trifluorine bf3; boron trifluoride f3b; trifluorine boronide bf; boron fluoride

The correct molecular formula  and chemical name of compound  that contain   3 atom of fluorine and one atom of Boron is

BF3 - Boron  trifluoride

Explanation

when writing the chemical formula of a compound,   the cation   symbol is written first followed by anion name.  Boron (B) is the cation hence its symbol is written first followed by  fluorine (f)-  the anion). since there are three atoms of fluorine three is written at the end of F hence

while naming the chemical compound  again the cation is named first then anion. The ending of the second name ( fluorine) is replaced with ide, hence the name fluoride. Prefix tri  is used to show that  the number of fluoride are  three, hence the name  boron trifluoride

the answer is b. dilution

it is the most commonly accepted one
