Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that chlorine trifluoride adopts a T-shaped molecular geometry?

Yes. Chlorine trifluoride is well-documented to adopt a T-shaped molecular geometry in accordance with valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is a specific, well-established chemical fact. Papers [4], [9], and [10] discuss chlorine trifluoride and its structural properties in the context of molecular force fields and VSEPR theory, supporting the T-shaped geometry.
