In a molecule of phosphorus fluoride, the phosphorus atom is in the center, and it is surrounded by the three fluoride atoms which are arranged at three of the four points of a tetrahedron. (The fourth point of the tetrahedron contains an electron pair from the phosphorus atom.)
trigonal planar
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.
The molecular geometry is octahedral.

The electron geometry ("Electronic Domain Geometry") for PF3 is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry, on the other hand, is Trigonal Pyramidal.
The shape of PF3 is trigonal bipyramidal. The geometric diagram determines this shape. Its electron domain geometry and molecular geometry are also the same.
tetrahedral
PF3 is a molecular compound. It consists of a covalent bond between phosphorus and fluorine atoms.
trigonal planar
PF3 is nonpolar because it has a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry with three identical bonds and a lone pair on the central phosphorus atom. The dipole moments of the three P-F bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a molecule with no net dipole moment.

The molecular geometry is octahedral.
PF3 is a trigonal pyramidal molecule with a central phosphorus atom bonded to three fluorine atoms, while PF5 is a trigonal bipyramidal molecule with a central phosphorus atom bonded to five fluorine atoms. The difference in their molecular structures arises from the difference in the number of bonded atoms surrounding the central phosphorus atom.
