**Question:**
Draw the Lewis Structure of the following compounds: SF₄, I₃⁻, BF₃, and NO. Determine which of these compounds have all atoms in the same plane (are flat or planar). Select all that apply.
**Options:**
- [ ] BF₃
- [ ] SF₄
- [ ] I₃⁻
- [ ] NO
**Explanation:**
This exercise involves understanding the geometry and Lewis structures of different molecules to identify their planarity.
- **BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride):**
- Geometry: Trigonal Planar
- Planarity: Planar
- **SF₄ (Sulfur Tetrafluoride):**
- Geometry: Seesaw
- Planarity: Not planar due to the presence of a lone pair causing non-planar shape.
- **I₃⁻ (Triiodide ion):**
- Geometry: Linear
- Planarity: Linear and symmetric, thus planar.
- **NO (Nitric Oxide):**
- Geometry: Linear
- Planarity: Mostly planar, though resonance may affect bond angles slightly.
**Answer:**
Select "BF₃" and "I₃⁻" as these are planar.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1c5b3e95-7305-4980-aa57-11d705d02b29%2F5d5477dd-c77e-41bb-b234-910b4af01407%2F12qffyb_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
