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.

Trigonal Planar (120 degrees)


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 electronic geometry of sulfite?

Trigonal pyramid will be its molecular shape. It will have tetrahedral electron domain geometry.


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.


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.
