Fluoromethane (CH₃F), synonym methyl fluoride, with 18 electrons, is a molecule in which one of the hydrogen atoms in methane is replaced with fluorine. The substitution renders the molecule both polar (polarizability = 3.30 × 10⁻⁴⁰ F m²; dipole moment = 1.858 D) and electron-attaching. The molecule has six vibrational modes in conformity with the other molecules of the ...
