In phosphorus trifluoride (PF3), the bond angle is approximately 97 degrees. This angle is slightly less than the ideal tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5 degrees due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom, which repels the bonding pairs and causes a distortion in the molecular geometry. As a result, PF3 adopts a trigonal pyramidal shape.
