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.

What is nitrate ion molecular shape?
The ion nitrate has a trigonal planar structure; see the link below.
What is molecular geometry of CH2?
It will be trigonal planar in terms of electron domain geometry, and bent in terms of molecular geometry. Carbon will form a single bond with each hydrogen atom, and will have 2 electrons left over. A molecule with 2 bonding domains, and one non-bonding domain takes on a bent shape.
What is the electron pair geometry for CO3 -2?
carbonate ion is having trigonal planar geometry
What is the molecular geometry of NH3 molecule?
At first glance, you may assume the NH2- ion takes the form of a tetrahedral shape similar to CH4 or ammonia; however, there are two lone electron pairs. Therefore, like the shape of water (H2O), the shape can be called angular or V-shaped.
Which molecule or ion has a linear shape?
BeCl2
What is the bond angle between the oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule?
Carbonate ion is in a trigonal planar shape (hint: sp2 hybridization)
What is the molecular shape of carbonate ion?
trigonal planar
What is nitrate ion molecular shape?
The ion nitrate has a trigonal planar structure; see the link below.
The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO 21 is The electron pair geometry is and the shape of the ion is?
sp2, trigonal planar, bent
What molecule or ion has a linear shape?
PH3 forms a trigonal pyramid ClO4- forms a perfectly regular trigonal pyramid, known as a tetrahedron BeCl2 ~APEX
What is molecular geometry of CH2?
It will be trigonal planar in terms of electron domain geometry, and bent in terms of molecular geometry. Carbon will form a single bond with each hydrogen atom, and will have 2 electrons left over. A molecule with 2 bonding domains, and one non-bonding domain takes on a bent shape.
Which best describe the molecular geometry of nitrate ion?
It is a trigonal planar structure - the nitrogen atom in the center.
Write the electronic and molecular geometry of NO3- and xeF2?
Trigonal Planar Electronic Geometry Geometry of Molecules: Trigonal Planar Three oxygen atoms are joined to the nitrogen atom in the NO3- ion to create a center atom. The configuration is trigonal planar, and the three oxygen atoms' bonds to the nitrogen atom have roughly 120-degree angles.
What is the electron pair geometry for CO3 -2?
carbonate ion is having trigonal planar geometry
What is the molecular geometry of NH3 molecule?
At first glance, you may assume the NH2- ion takes the form of a tetrahedral shape similar to CH4 or ammonia; however, there are two lone electron pairs. Therefore, like the shape of water (H2O), the shape can be called angular or V-shaped.
Is a carbonate ion polar?
The carbonate ion, or CO3 2- has 24 electrons and its structure is trigonal planar. It is non-polar because the trigonal planar is symmetrical.
What shape do you expect for NO2 - ion?
The electronic shape is trigonal planar.The molecular shape is bent/angular.
