Best Answer

The shape of NF3 is trigonal pyramidal because Flourine bonds to nitrogen three times leaving nitrogen with a left over bond pair of electrons.

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.

Electron Domain is Tetrahedral Molecular Geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal


What shape does the molecule SF3 plus have?

Sulfur trifluoride is the trigonal pyramidal due to repulsion of lone pairs.


Is the shape of PCl3 trigonal planar or pyramidal?

Trigonal Pyramidal. It is not trigonal planar because there is one lone pair around the central atom, just like the shape of ammonia.


What shape does the molecule NF3 have?

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.
