β 9y agoThere are two possible structures for a square planar molecule with a formula of AX3Y. In one structure, the Y atom is in the center and the three X atoms are arranged around it. In the other structure, one of the X atoms is in the center and the Y atom and the other two X atoms are arranged around it.

Not necessarily. Hydrocarbons can exist in various conformations, including planar and non-planar structures. The geometry of a hydrocarbon molecule depends on the number and arrangement of its carbon-carbon bonds.
Sulfur trioxide has a trigonal planar molecule.
trigonal planar
The molecule CH2O has a trigonal planar shape. The carbon atom is at the center, with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom attached, forming a flat, triangular structure.

The approximate bond angle for a molecule with a trigonal planar shape is 120 degrees.
Trigonal planar.
The molecule H2CO, formaldehyde, has a trigonal planar molecular shape with a bond angle of 120 degrees. It is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen, resulting in a net dipole moment.
XeF4
Benzene is a hydrocarbon. By definition hydrocarbons are simply any molecule that contain only hydrogen and carbon. Benzene contains only hydrogen and carbon. It's molecular formula is C6H6. In detail: Benzene has a delocalised p-orbital electron system. It is planar as a result.
Yes, boron trichloride (BCl3) is an example of a trigonal planar molecule. It has three chlorine atoms bonded to a central boron atom, with a trigonal planar geometry.
Trigonal Planar
A boron trichloride molecule has a trigonal planar shape. This means that the boron atom is at the center, with three chlorine atoms bonded to it in a flat, triangular arrangement.
Sulfur trioxide has a trigonal planar molecule.
