    Is CH2O trigonal planar?
    The VSEPR model predicts that CH₂O is trigonal planar with bond angles of about 120 °. We must first draw the Lewis structure for CH₂O. There are three electron regions around the central carbon atom. The VSEPR model states that the electron regions around an atom spread out to make each one as far from the others as possible.

    Is CH2O polar or trigonal?
    CH2O has a molecular geometry of AX3, trigonal planar shape, and an sp2 hybridization. It is a trigonal planar in shape with bond angles of 120 degrees. It is polar due to the difference in the partial charges on Carbon and Oxygen atom. Formaldehyde has two lone pairs of electrons on the Oxygen atom and no lone pairs on the central atom.

    Why is the Lewis structure of CH2O trigonal planar?
    Since the overall formal charge is zero, the above Lewis structure of CH 2 O is most appropriate, reliable, and stable in nature. The molecular geometry of CH 2 O is trigonal planar because the central carbon atom has no lone pair and is attached to the two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom through two single bonds and one double bond.

    Why does CH2O (Ax 3) have a deviation from ideal geometry?
    For example, in a molecule such as CH 2 O (AX 3), whose structure is shown below, the double bond repels the single bonds more strongly than the single bonds repel each other. This causes a deviation from ideal geometry (an H–C–H bond angle of 116.5° rather than 120°).

    What is the Lewis structure of CH2O?
    The Lewis structure of CH2O shows that there are three atoms attached to the central Carbon (C). There are no lone pair electrons on the central Carbon. According to VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory), the electron clouds around these atoms will repel each other.
