1. List three ways in which models used in this experiment are inaccurate representations of orbitals?
2.explain why the ClF3 molecule is not a trigonal planar molecule?

We have no idea what experiment you are doing unless you tell us what is going on. For ClF3, this is a trigonal bipyramidal electronic structure and T shaped molecular structure because of the two set of unpaired electrons.
