The number of molecule(s) or ion(s) from the following having non-planar structure is ____________.

NO3−,H2O2,BF3,PCl3,XeF4,SF4,XeO3,PH4+,SO3,[Al(OH)4]−\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{BF}_{3}, \mathrm{PCl}_{3}, \mathrm{XeF}_{4}, \mathrm{SF}_{4}, \mathrm{XeO}_{3}, \mathrm{PH}_{4}^{+}, \mathrm{SO}_{3},\left[\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]^{-}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

NO3⊖→\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{\ominus} \rightarrow Trigonal planar (Planar)

H2O2→\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow Open book (Non-planar)

BF3→\mathrm{BF}_{3} \rightarrow Trigonal planar (Planar)

PCl3→\mathrm{PCl}_{3} \rightarrow Pyramidal (Non-planar)

XeF4→\mathrm{XeF}_{4} \rightarrow Square planar (Planar)

SF4→\mathrm{SF}_{4} \rightarrow See-Saw (Non-planar) XeO3→\mathrm{XeO}_{3} \rightarrow Pyramidal (Non-planar)

PH4⊕→\mathrm{PH}_{4}^{\oplus} \rightarrow Tetrahedral (Non-planar)

SO3→\mathrm{SO}_{3} \rightarrow Trigonal planar (Planar)

[Al(OH)4]−→\left[\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]^{-} \rightarrow Tetrahedral (Non-planar)
