AlCl3 is non polar, even though it is trigonal planar the atoms are spread symetrically making it non-polar.The Cl will be the central atom and it will share 3 of it's electrons, one with each As. Each As will share one electron with the Cl now creating single bonds with the other 4 electrons for the As's becoming lone pairs on each side of them. The remaining four electrons for Cl become two lone pairs. Anything with 3 bonds and 2 lone pairs is T-Shaped.
