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.
No, SO3 does not have tetrahedral geometry. It has trigonal planar geometry, with a bond angle of approximately 120 degrees.
The carbonate ion CO3^2- has a trigonal planar shape. It consists of one carbon atom bonded to three oxygen atoms in a flat, triangular arrangement.
trigonal planar
The chemical formula of aluminium sulfite is Al2(SO3)3.
Yes, CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane) has a trigonal planar molecular geometry around the central carbon atom. This is because the carbon atom is surrounded by three regions of electron density, which results in a trigonal planar shape.
No, SO3 does not have tetrahedral geometry. It has trigonal planar geometry, with a bond angle of approximately 120 degrees.
Trigonal planar.
SO3
Trigonal Planar (120 degrees)
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.
Examples are BF3, SO3 and COCL2.
The electronic geometry of sulfite ion (SO3^2-) is trigonal planar. In this structure, there are three regions of electron density around the sulfur atom, forming a trigonal planar shape.
The bond angle for SO3 is approximately 120 degrees.
Boron Trifluoride (BF3) is an example of a molecule with a trigonal planar shape. It contains three atoms of fluorine bonded to a central boron atom, arranged in a flat, triangular shape with bond angles of 120 degrees.
The carbonate ion CO3^2- has a trigonal planar shape. It consists of one carbon atom bonded to three oxygen atoms in a flat, triangular arrangement.
Not linear.
The molecular shape of SeO3 is trigonal planar. It has a central selenium atom bonded to three oxygen atoms, with no lone pairs on the central atom, resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.
