An explanation of the molecular
An explanation of the molecular geometry for the ClF3 (Chlorine trifluoride) including a description of the ClF3 bond angles. The electron geometry for the Chlorine trifluoride is also provided.
For the ClF3 Lewis Structure see:

The ideal bond angle for the Chlorine trifluoride is 90° since it has a Approx. T-shaped molecular geometry. Experimentally we would expect the bond angle to be approximately 87.5°.
To determine the molecular geometry, or shape for a compound like ClF3, we complete the following steps:
1) Draw the Lewis Structure for the compound (for ClF3: ClF3 Lewis Structure - How to Draw th...).
2) Predict how the atoms and lone pairs will spread out when the repel each other.
3) Use a chart based on steric number (like the one in the video) or use the AXN notation to find the molecular shape. This will be determined by the number of atoms and lone pairs attached to the central atom.
If you are trying to find the electron geometry for ClF3 we would expect it to be Trigonal bipyramidal.
