HCOOH, or formic acid, has a molecular geometry that can be described as trigonal planar around the carbon atom. The carbon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms and one hydrogen atom, resulting in bond angles of approximately 120 degrees. The overall shape of the molecule is influenced by the presence of a hydrogen atom and the carboxyl group (-COOH). The molecular structure is polar due to the presence of the electronegative oxygen atoms.
