The choice that is not an example of a molecule is "F."
To determine which choice is not an example of a molecule, we need to understand what a molecule is. A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together.
Looking at each choice:
1. The uppercase letter F does not represent a specific chemical formula, so it cannot be considered a molecule.
2. H2O2 is a chemical formula representing hydrogen peroxide. It consists of two hydrogen atoms (H) and two oxygen atoms (O) bonded together, making it a molecule.
3. NCl3 is a chemical formula representing nitrogen trichloride. It consists of one nitrogen atom (N) and three chlorine atoms (Cl) bonded together, making it a molecule.
4. O3 is a chemical formula representing ozone. It consists of three oxygen atoms (O) bonded together, making it a molecule.
Therefore, the choice that is not an example of a molecule is the uppercase letter F.
