YES it is.
This is because there are 3 electron clouds around the central Sulfur atom. These clouds repel each other as far apart as possible (120 degrees) because electron clouds are negative and like charges repel. All three of these are bonded so the overall shape is trigonal planar.

The chemical formula of aluminium sulfite is Al2(SO3)3.
What is the shape of Co32?
CO32- is trigonal planar, bond angles are 1200
What is BCI3?
Trigonal Planar
What is the molecular shape of CIF3?
Trigonal planar
What is the geometry of the SO3 molecule?
Trigonal planar.
Does SO3 have tetrahedral geometry?
No. SO3 (sulfur trixoide) has trigonal planar geometry.
What molecules or ions has a trigonal planar?
Examples are BF3, SO3 and COCL2.
What is the molecules or ions has a trigonal planar shape?
SO3
What kind of bond angle is so3?
Trigonal Planar (120 degrees)
Is so3 ionic or covalent compounds?
SO3 sulfur trioxide is covalent. There are S=O bonds and the molecule is trigonal planar as predicted by VSEPR.
What is the nature of so3?
The chemical formula of aluminium sulfite is Al2(SO3)3.
Which molecule has 120 degrees bond angle?
A trigonal planar molecule such as sulfur trioxide (SO3) or boron trihydride (BH3) has a trigonal planar shape. Trigonal pyramidal molecules such as ammonia (NH3) have bond angle closer to 107 degrees.
What is the shape of Co32?
CO32- is trigonal planar, bond angles are 1200
Which molecule or ion has a trigonal planar shape?
its used in molecular geometry. it refers to molecules with the shape including one atom at the center of 3 surrounding atoms attached at approximately 120 degree angles. Planar simply means that there are three, connected carbon centers that are each trigonal planar. for a good example look up the shape of propane. its defined as having trigonal planar structure, but i don't really know why that is being as the middle carbon atom only has 2 attached atoms... but yea that's it.
What is the bond angle for so3?
The compound SO3 is a type of covalent bond. It is a covalent bond because both sulfur and oxygen are nonmetals that are bonded.
What is the molecular shape and polarity of H2CO?
Formaldehyde has a nonpolar trigonal planar molecule.
