SCl2 is a simple bent molecule with bond angle of 103 0 and bond length 201 pm. There are four electron pairs around the sulfur, and in VSEPR theory these will be arranged so that the lone pairs repel the bonding pairs slighly more than the bonding pairs repe each other. this leads to a reduction of the angle from the ideal terahedral angle of 109.5 0

What is the molecular shape of ClNO?
It would have electron geometry trigonal planar, and a molecular geometry of Bent.
What is the electron pair geometry and the molecular geometry of PF5?
Trigonal Bipyramidal
What is the structural geometry of NOF?
Molecular geometry will be bent, electron geometry will be trigonal planar
Is SCL2 trigonal planar?
No, SCl2 has a bent molecular geometry, not trigonal planar. The sulfur atom has 2 lone pairs, causing the molecular geometry to be bent.

What it the electron geometry for PF3?
The electron geometry ("Electronic Domain Geometry") for PF3 is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry, on the other hand, is Trigonal Pyramidal.
What is the molecular shape of SCl2?
See wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuryl_chloride) sulfuryl chloride page for a picture. You can work out the shape using VSEPR- ignoring pi bonds there are 4 bonding electron pairs - so it will be approximately tetrahedral- (not perfectly as the four substituent atoms are different. (another way of looking at it is that SO2Cl2 is a 32 valence electron molecule - same as SO42- - so expect them to have similar shapes)
