Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Planar molecules are those that have all atoms in the same plane. In the given substances, (i) and (ii) have a planar structure because all atoms lie in the same plane. In (iii) and (v), there are atoms that do not lie in the same plane, hence they are not planar. In (iv), there is no information about the arrangement of atoms, so we cannot conclude its planarity. Therefore, the correct answer is (i), (iii), and (v).
