AlF3 - Aluminum Trifluoride:
First draw the Lewis dot structure:
Electron geometry: trigonal planar. Hybridization: sp2
Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:
Decision:
The molecular geometry of AlF3 is trigonal planar with a symmetric charge distribution on the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is non-polar.
