Trigonal Pyramidal - 107.5 degrees
It has 3 bonds and one lone pair.
With all 4 elements (the 3 covalent bonds plus the lone pair) you would think it was Tetrahedral, with 109.5 degrees between them, but because the lone pair is there, it pushes the other bonding electrons closer together and thus you have a smaller angle of 107.5 degrees and the different shape.

∙ 13y agoNF3 has a tetrahedral geometric structure and a trigonal pyramidal shape (one nonbonding electron pair on Nitrogen). Because of these unequally shared electrons throughout the shape, the molecule is polar.

The molecule compound nf3 is named?
nitrogen trifluoride
How does the shape of the molecule affect the polarity of the molecule?
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
What is NF3 written as a molecule?
don't know how complicated you want to get..(talking about dipoles and everything) but the basic answer for the molecule is that it is non-polar, meaning that everything is the same symmetrically. This is because if you draw lines on symmetry.
Shape of DNA molecule?
The shape of a DNA Molecule is a Double Helix
The shape of the methane molecule (CH4) is called?
The shape of the methane molecule is called a tetrahedron.
Is nf3 a covalent or ionic?
Covalent. NF3 is the fluoride equivalent of ammonia (NH3).
Shape of NF3?
The shape of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is trigonal pyramidal. The N atom is single bonded to three separate F atoms and has one lone pair present.
The molecule compound nf3 is named?
nitrogen trifluoride
Nf3 has three f atoms bonded to a Central n atom with one lone electron pair on the n what is the shape of the molecule?
Triginal pyramidal. ~apex
NF3 has three F atoms bonded to a central N atom with one lone electron pair on the N. What is the shape of this molecule?
Triginal pyramidal. ~apex
NF3 has three F atoms bonded to a central N atom with one lone electrons pair on the N. What is the shape of this molecule?
Triginal pyramidal. ~apex
Is NF3 a purely covalent molecule?
The molecule is covalent, the N-F bonds are polar covalent.
Is NF3 a trigonal pyramidal?
The shape of NF3 is trigonal pyramidal because Flourine bonds to nitrogen three times leaving nitrogen with a left over bond pair of electrons.
