    Planar structure is shown by

    A)  \[CO_{3}^{2-}\]              

    B)         \[BC{{l}_{3}}\] 

    C)         \[N{{(Si{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\]     

    D)         all of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    C in \[CO_{3}^{2-}\] and B in \[BC{{l}_{3}}\] are \[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridised thus acquire planar geometry. Although N in \[N{{(Si{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\] is \[s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridised but the steric hinderence caused by three bulky groups make it planar for higher stability.
