The shape of the ClFX3 molecule is
Alinear
Btrigonal pyramidal
Ctrigonal planar
DT-shaped
Answer: D
Cl has 7 valence electrons and forms 3 Cl-F bonds, leaving 2 lone pairs, so there are 5 electron pairs (sp3d). The two lone pairs occupy equatorial positions of the trigonal bipyramid, giving a T-shaped molecule.
