The electron domain of sulfur trioxide (SO₃) consists of three regions of electron density around the central sulfur atom, each corresponding to a double bond with an oxygen atom. This results in a trigonal planar molecular geometry with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees. The absence of lone pairs on the sulfur atom further confirms that all three electron domains are involved in bonding. Thus, SO₃ exhibits a symmetrical arrangement of its electron domains.

The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.
