CHF3, or trifluoromethane, has a tetrahedral molecular geometry rather than a trigonal bipyramidal structure. The central carbon atom is bonded to three fluorine atoms and one hydrogen atom, resulting in four regions of electron density which arrange themselves to minimize repulsion, forming a tetrahedral shape. The bond angles in CHF3 are approximately 109.5 degrees, characteristic of tetrahedral geometry.
