Give the approximate bond angle for a molecule with a trigonal planar shape.
A)109.5°
B)180°
C)120°
D)105°

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trigonal planar shape has three identical atoms or groups of atoms bonded to one central atom in a flat, triangular arrangement. The bond angle in a trigonal planar molecule is 120°, as the three bonds are evenly spaced around the central atom. Therefore, the best choice is (C) 120°.
