Polar. Cl has two nonbonding electron pairs, since there are 28 valence electrons. Each F takes 6 and uses 2 in a bond to Cl, so that accounts for 24 and the remaining 4 go into the nonbonding pairs resulting in a T-Shaped geometry.

∙ 11y agoClF3 is polar. The physical shape of the molecule is almost T-shaped and therefore given the two lone pairs of electrons also present on the molecule, the charge does not centre itself on the central atom. This means that ClF3 is polar.

∙ 13y agoThe molecule is polar because, even though the dipole moments of the C-Cl interactions cancel each other out, the H-C interaction has a more electronegative C and causes the entire molecule to be polar.
