It is a trigonal planar molecule; this resembles a 2D equilateral traingle with an Aluminium atom in the middle and the 3 chlorine atoms situated at each of the 3 points on the triangle. The bond angles are 120 degrees. Other examples of trigonal planar molecules are boron trifluoride (BF3) or boron trichloride (BCl3).

A compound that does not have a bent molecular shape is carbon dioxide (CO2). It has a linear molecular shape due to the arrangement of the three atoms in a straight line.
The molecular shape of hydrogen iodide (HI) is linear. This is because there are only two atoms in the molecule and no lone pairs on the central iodine atom, leading to a linear geometry.
Isomers.
N2 ,molecular nitrogen, is a linear molecule with a dumbbell shape.
The shape would be pyramidal because of the lone pair nitrogen has
The molecular shape of SCl6 is octahedral.
The molecular shape name for C3H8 is a tetrahedron.
Parent Shape: Trigonal bipyrimidal Actual shape: Trigonal Planar
V-shape
A compound that does not have a bent molecular shape is carbon dioxide (CO2). It has a linear molecular shape due to the arrangement of the three atoms in a straight line.
The molecular shape of CIF2 is linear. This is because there are only two atoms bonded with the central atom, which results in a linear molecular geometry.
The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.
Isomers
The shape of SF4 is Sea Saw
F2 has a linear shape.
Trigonal pyramidal
The bond angle in silicon disulfide (SiS2) is approximately 105 degrees, and the molecular shape is bent/angular.
