ClF3 exists but FCl3 does not because the Cl has vacant 3d orbits orbitals and can thus combine with three F atoms but F does not have any d-orbitals and thus it cannot show the oxidation state of +3 and bond to 3 Cl atoms.

How many atoms of F are in 5.88 mg of ClF3?
5.88 mg ClF3 (1 gram/1000 mg)(1 mole ClF3/92.45 g)(3 mole F/1 mole ClF3)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole F) = 1.15 X 10^20 atoms of fluorine
Is ClF3 miscible with water?
Yes, completely.
In ClF3 how many valence electrons are lone pairs ie not involved in bonds forming?
22APex
What is the molecular geometry for ClF3?
The shape of ClF3 molecule is T shaped The hybridisation is Sp3d. expected shape is Trigonal biPyramidal but dueto the presence of TWO lone pairs of electrons the shape is T shaped But actually this is slightly bent structure.
