What is GaF3? Important Knowledge about GaF3.

1. Definition of GaF₃

GaF₃, also known as Gallium trifluoride, is a chemical compound that consists of one gallium atom (Ga) and three fluorine atoms (F). The total atomic weight of GaF₃ is 145.774 g/mol. In the Gallium trifluoride molecule, the gallium atom is bonded to the three fluorine atoms via covalent bonds to form a trigonal planar structure. This substance does not form ions under normal conditions.
