PF2Cl3 - Phosphorus Difluoride Trichloride:
First draw the Lewis dot structure:
Electron geometry: trigonal bipyramidal. Hybridization: sp3d
Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:
Click and drag the molecule to rotate it.
Decision:
The molecular geometry of PF2Cl3 is trigonal bipyramidal with symmetric charge distribution around the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is nonpolar.
This is somewhat of a rare molecule, but here is one like it:
