Question

Draw a valid Lewis structure for ClF3 including all electrons. Give the name of the molecular geometry for the compound and label it as polar or nonpolar. Use drawings and/or words to explain your rationale for whether or not it is polar (hint: you may want to redraw Lewis structure to represent the actual geometry and draw polarity arrows or partial charges).

          Draw a valid Lewis structure for ClF3 including all electrons.
Give the name of the molecular geometry for the compound and label
it as polar or nonpolar. Use drawings and/or words to explain your
rationale for whether or not it is polar (hint: you may want to
redraw Lewis structure to represent the actual geometry and draw
polarity arrows or partial charges).
