The bond angle between two phosphorous chlorine bonds in phosphorus trichloride is 107°, F-P-F bond angle being 96.3°
hope it helps

The shape of phosphorus tetrachloryl would be pyramidal. This gives 4 pairs, 3 of which are bond pairs. The angle would be 109.5. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
