Would Have a Trigonal Planar Shape?

trigonal planar molecular geometry → trigonska planarna geometrija molekule. Trigonal planar is a molecular shape that results when there are three bonds and no lone pairs around the central atom in the molecule. The pairs are arranged along the central atom's equator, with 120° angles between them.

Which molecules has a trigonal planar shape?

Structure of boron trifluoride, an example of a molecule with trigonal planar geometry.

How do I know if I have trigonal planar?

In trigonal planar, there are no lone pair electrons in the central atom. But in trigonal pyramidal there is one lone pair at the central atom. The bond angle in trigonal planar is around 120^o, and in trigonal pyramidal, it is around 107^o.
