Draw a dot-cross diagram of Chlorine Triflouride, and discuss the shape exhibited by the molecule

(Drawing cannot be put into this area). The shape of this molecule is influenced by the bonding regions and lone pair regions (lone pairs repel more than bonded pairs). The molecule has 2 lone pairs and 3 bonding regions, which gives 5 regions in total. This geometry therefore is Trigonal Pyramidial, with 2 of the lone pairs occupying the equatorial orbits (more advanced than A-Level).
