Fluorine and Nitrogen

Two compounds are known that contain only nitrogen and fluorine. Careful analysis shows that 23.67 grams of compound I contain 19.00 grams of fluorine and that 26.00 grams of compound II contain 19.00 grams of fluorine. 

Another example of the importance of atomic dipoles appeared in Chapter 2, where we attributed the small dipole moment of NF3 to the moment produced by the lone pair on nitrogen, which makes an important contribution to the atomic dipole on nitrogen and opposes the charge transfer moment due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and fluorine. 

The gaseous elements hydrogen, nitrogen, and fluorine exist as diatomic molecules when they are not combined with other elements. Draw an electron dot structure for each molecule. 

The rhodium-catalyzed borylation of methyl C-H bonds is compatible with several moieties containing oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.154 For example, the reaction of pinacol acetal of 2-hexanone with bis(pinacolato)diborane (B2pin2) in the presence of Cp Rh(774-C6Me6) catalyst gives the alkylboronate ester in 74% yield (Equation (111)). The rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation and borylation occur at the least hindered and least electron-rich methyl group. 

The valence electrons of nitrogen and fluorine are five and seven respectively. In this case, to complete its octet nitrogen needs three more electrons and fluorine needs one more electron. Therefore one nitrogen atom combines with three fluorine atoms. 

Hydrogen bond a weak chemical bond formed by sharing a hydrogen atom between two atoms chosen from oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine. 

As the core contracts, it gets hotter, and once it reaches about a hundred million degrees the fusion of helium atoms becomes possible. This produces carbon, oxygen, and neon. (The intervening elements beryllium, boron, nitrogen, and fluorine are less stable, and decay to other elements.)...

Hydrogen bonding, which occurs when hydrogen atoms are bonded to oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine atoms, is the strongest type of intermolecular force.

Direct synthesis of NF3 from nitrogen and fluorine was not effected until 1964, when Maya obtained yields up to 30% on passing an N2-F2 mixture at a pressure of 20- 40 mm through an electric discharge in a tube cooled to — 196°C (207). This method is similar to that used in the synthesis of oxygen fluorides from the elements (144,259), except that in the latter case different oxygen fluorides are produced by changing the stoichiometry of the mixture of reactants, whereas with N2-F2 mixtures only NF3 results.
