Detailed Solution

XeO3,NCl3,PSiH33are pyramidal because double bonds exist between the molecules and there will be lone pair-bond pair repulsion in the molecule since the center atom has a lone pair. 

Pyramidal geometry will be created by distorting the trigonal planar geometry. Hence, ⁣XeO3,NCl3,PSiH33 has pyramidal shape.
