The molecular shape for ClF4 (chlorine tetrafluoride) is square planar. It has four bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons around the central chlorine atom, resulting in a square planar geometry.
The ClF4- ion has a total of 34 valence electrons, with five electron pairs around the central chlorine atom. The molecular geometry of ClF4- is square planar, with the chlorine atom at the center and four fluorine atoms arranged in a square around it. This geometry is achieved by having four bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons around the central atom, resulting in a symmetrical arrangement.
tetrafluorochlorate(III)
If we are talking about the anion ClF4 -, it is square planar. The VSEPR method is not easy to apply here. That's why the answer is not obvious. A DFT quantum calculation, B3LYP/6-31G+(d), gives the square planar structure (D4h) about 2.2 eV (about 220 kJ/mol) lower than the T type structure (C2v).

ClF4+ is a polar molecule because it has a net dipole moment due to the unequal sharing of electrons between chlorine and fluorine atoms. This unequal sharing causes the molecule to have regions of partial positive and negative charges.
ClF5 Is the formula for Chlorine pentaflouride.
There are two allowed structures of SF4Cl2... the cisform where one chlorine is in an equitorial position and one is axial, and the trans form where both chlorines are in axial positions. In the trans form the S-F bond dipoles all cancel each other, as do the S-Cl bond dipoles, because they are opposite each other. Therefore the molecule is non-polar. In the cisform, two of the S-F bond dipoles cancel, but because the other S-F bond dipoles are across from S-Cl bond dipoles, they do not cancel (S-F is more polar than an S-Cl bond). Therefore, the cisform is polar.
