	Trigonal Planar
		An example of trigonal planar electron pair geometry (E. G.) and molecular geometry is BH This molecule is electron deficient and does not follow the octet rule because it has only 6 valence electrons.
		These compounds have the structural component of the carbon double bond oxygen and at least one hydrogen atom and are always in the trigonal planar format geometry.
		Hence the molecule has three electron pairs and is trigonal planar geometry.

		The electron-group geometries are trigonal planar (orange), tetrahedral (green), trigonal bipyramidal (lavender), and octahedgral (yellow).
		Trigonal bipyramidal T-shaped geometry results from the presence of 3 atoms and 2 non-bonding pairs of electrons on the central atom.
		Octahedral--square planar geometry results from the presence of 2 nonbonding pairs of electrons on a central atom that is substituted with 4 atoms.

	Molecular Geometry
		Note: for bent molecular geometry when the electron-pair geometry is trigonal planar the bond angle is slightly less than 120 degrees, around 118 degrees.
		An example of this geometry is CH As we replace bonding pairs with nonbonding pairs the molecular geometry become trigonal pyramidal (three bonding and one nonbonding), bent or angular (two bonding and two nonbonding) and linear (one bonding and three nonbonding).
		In this case BF has three bonding pairs and no nonbonding pairs with a geometry of trigonal planar, while NF has three bonding pairs and one nonbonding pair with a geometry of trigonal pyramidal.

	Trigonal Pyramid Geometry
		An example of trigonal pyramid molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry is NH The nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and thus needs 3 more electrons from 3 hydrogen atoms to complete its octet.
		The molecule is trigonal pyramid molecular geometry because the lone electron pair, although still exerting its influence, is invisible when looking at molecular geometry.
		The molecule is three dimensional as opposed to the boron hydride case which was a flat trigonal planar molecular geometry because it did not have a lone electron pair.

		(c)SO Draw the Lewis structure - the electron pair geometry is trigonal planar (the S-O double bond counts as one pair.) The molecular geometry is trigonal planar - we therefore have an AB molecule with a trigonal planar geometry.
		This molecule is of the general formula AB ; its molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (the only geometry for AB which leads to a nonpolar molecule is trigonal planar.) This species is polar.

	Mineralogy Notes
		The crystal faces commonly seen on quartz are growth faces and represent the slow est growing directions in the structure.
		Quartz grows rapidly along its c-axis (three-fold or trigonal symmetry axis) direction and so never shows faces perpendicular to this direction.
		On the other hand, calcite rhomb faces and mica plates are cleavages and represent the weakest chemical bonds in the structure.

		Slate, fine-grained ROCK formed when sedimentary rocks such as SHALE are metamorphosed by great pressure.
		Slate splits into perfectly cleaved, broad thin layers; this characteristically regular and planar cleavage is called slaty cleavage.
		The rock is not necessarily compressed in the same direction as the sedimentary layers were originally laid down, and because the compression crumples and deforms the original sedimentary layers, the planes of slaty cleavage usually cut through the old bedding planes.
