AI Generated Solution

To understand why the compound NF₆ (Nitrogen Hexafluoride) is not known, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Electronic Configuration of Nitrogen - Nitrogen (N) has an atomic number of 7, which means it has 7 electrons. The electronic configuration can be written as: - 1s² 2s² 2p³ ### Step 2: Analyze the Valence Electrons - In the outermost shell (the second shell), nitrogen has 5 electrons (2 in the 2s subshell and 3 in the 2p subshell). ...
