It has a bent structure just like the H2O and H2S.

The electron geometry ("Electronic Domain Geometry") for PF3 is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry, on the other hand, is Trigonal Pyramidal.
trigonal bipyramidal, there are 5 e- by VSEPR method
Its actually electron pair repulsion. Its the principle that electron pairs around a central atom tend to orient themselves as far apart as possible. Electron pair repulsion is used to predict the geometry of a molecule or a polyatomic ion.
They can use geometry by using angles and certain polygons/polyhedra.
