Triangular Pyramid

It should look like NH3 or almost like CH4 where the carbon s replaced by a nitrogen and one of the hydrogens is missing. Since there is a lone pair that pushes the 3 fluorines lower, thus making the angle smaller. Since the angle is smaller, it can no longer be a tetrahedron. Thus, it is a triangular pyramid.
