Dear student 

In BF3, B is sp2 hybridised
 
        \ Bond  = 120o
 
        In PF3, P is sp3 hybrodised, the molecule has pyramidal shape \ bond  is less than 109o.28’ and greater than 100o. In ClF3, Cl is sp3d     hybridized, the molecule has a T-shape.
 
        \ the bond angle is close to 90o.
Good Luck
