Trigonal pyramidal. As has 5 valence electrons. It forms single bonds with each of the F atoms, donating one electron to each bond. This leaves 2 unbonded electrons, or a single lone pair. Thus the molecule has 4 different groups attached to As, and the electron configuration is tetrahedral. A tetrahedral configuration with one lone pair results in a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
