Question

The bond angles in a molecule with trigonal planar geometry are approximately:
Options
A 90°
B 109.5°
C 120°
Correct Answer
D 180°
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Trigonal planar geometry, as seen in molecules like ethene (C₂H₄) or formaldehyde (CH₂O), has bond angles of approximately 120° due to sp² hybridization.

Hint

Consider the electron domain geometry and the associated hybridization.
