Iit is phosphorus penta fluoride a molecule with Trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
3 bonding pairs between P and 3x F atoms.1 free pair at central P atom.3 free pairs on each of the F atoms.Cf in 'Related links' below this answer page
Any element with an atomic number greater than 10 is capable of hypervalency. Electrons in the valence shell of these elements can be placed into hybridized d-orbitals during bonding if it is necessary to reduce the formal charge on the central atom of a molecule. Examples include PF5, SF6, AsF5, and XeF4.
Phosphorus has two valencies 3 and 5. 3 - in compounds such as PH3, PCl3, P4O6 5 - PCl5, P4O10 In terms of cordination, the "count" of all the atoms around a P atom it can have 2- 9 atoms around it. Examples are below:- 2 - in OPCH2 3 - in PH3 4 - in PO43- 5 - in PF5 6 - in PF6- And in some phosphides where there bond is more ionic even higher coordination numbers are known:- 7 - in crystals of Ta2P 8 - in crystals of Hf2P 9 - Ti3P
PF5 :SP3d
The electron geometry (and also, the molecular geometry) of PF5 is Trigonal Bipyramidal.

yes
It is Phosphorous pentafluoride.

It is nothing. Love-Keyana Correia
The geometry is different and also reactivity. 2F more than on PF3 trigonal bipyramidal PF5 trigonal pyramidal PF3
