What is the electron-pair geometry of ClF3?

Question

You must type the name in, e.g. triangular planar
note that the computer is case insensitive, you can use either upper or lower case letters in the answer you enter.

NOTE: If you need to enter T-shaped enter it with a hyphen, just like it appears here.

Answer 1

Well, as you might expect, the answer is T-shaped. There are 5 electron pairs on the Cl, 3 of which are bonding and 2 of which are lone pairs. These occupy equatorial positions.
