### Molecular Shape Identification

**Instructions:**
Check the box next to each molecule on the right that has the shape of the model shown.

---

**Model:**
![Molecular Model](https://via.placeholder.com/50)
- The model displayed is a trigonal planar shape typically exhibited by molecules with three atoms bonded to a central atom, all in the same plane.

**Molecules (check all that apply):**
- [ ] NO₃⁻ (Nitrate)
- [ ] CH₂O (Formaldehyde)
- [ ] CO₃²⁻ (Carbonate)
- [x] SO₃ (Sulfur trioxide)
- [ ] None of the above

**Explanation of the Graphical Model:**
- **Molecular Geometry:**
  - The central atom is connected to three surrounding atoms.
  - Each of the atoms is spaced evenly around the central atom, forming 120-degree angles between bonds.

- **Scale Bar:**
  - The scale bar at the bottom of the diagram ranges from 1 to 8, possibly indicating steps or different stages in learning about molecular shapes.

**Selected Answer:**
- The correct molecule with this shape is SO₃ (Sulfur trioxide), which is checked in the provided options.
