IF3 has 5 electron pairs to "place" in orbitals. sp3d hybridisation gives the 5 with trigonal pyramidal symmetry.

I might not know the answer to my question but I do not think it is SP^3.
The chemical formula for iodine trifluoride is IF3.
The hybridization of PCl3F2 is sp3d. This hybridization occurs when there are five electron domains around the central atom (phosphorus), consisting of three bonding pairs and two lone pairs.
In IF3, iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons and each fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Thus, the central iodine atom in IF3 is surrounded by 21 electrons from the three fluorine atoms (7 electrons each).
sp3d. The ion is see-saw shaped (VSEPR thepry- AX4E geometry)

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.
The systematic name for IF3 is iodine trifluoride.
The chemical formula for iodine trifluoride is IF3.

The mixing of atomic orbitals is called hybridisation.

In the gas phase the shape is similar to SF4 (see-saw) with 5 electron pairs around the Te. The hybridisation is roughly sp3d however the bond lengths are not all the same and the angles are not what you would expect (sp3d orbitals are aligned like a trigonal bipyramid) In the solid which is polymeric, with six electron pairs around the Te atoms, the hybridisation is roughly sp3d2, again the angles are not the ideal 90 0 .
The formula of iodine fluoride is IF3.
In this compound, the central atom, sulfur, has one lone pair and four bond pairs, and it takes the see-saw shape according to VSEPR theory. Its hybridisatio is approximately sp3d
