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.

Does SO3 have tetrahedral geometry?
No, SO3 does not have tetrahedral geometry. It has trigonal planar geometry, with a bond angle of approximately 120 degrees.
What is the shape of Co32?
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.
What is the correct molecular shape for no3?
trigonal planar
What is the nature of so3?
The chemical formula of aluminium sulfite is Al2(SO3)3.
Is ch2 ch cl trigonal planor?
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.
