Question

What is the bond angle in a molecule with trigonal planar geometry?
Options
A 90°
B 109.5°
C 120°
Correct Answer
D 180°
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A molecule with three bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom has trigonal planar geometry with a bond angle of 120°. Boron trifluoride (BF₃) is an example.

Hint

Trigonal planar molecules have bonds arranged in a flat triangle.
