Best Answer

An NCl3 molecule would be a trigonal pyramidal because it has one center N atom with 3 Cl surrounding it, but also a lone pair of electrons on the top which bends the molecule downward, forming a trigonal pyramidal. Its electron shape would be tetrahedral, that is when you count the lone pairs of electrons as bonds themselves.
