Detailed Solution

The species having planner structure is, ⁣I3+,XeF4,C2F4,BrF4,SO3,NOCl,ClF3,F2CO,XeF5

The shape of XeF4 is square planar. Four electron bond pairs and two lone pairs make up the center Xe atom. Octahedral electron geometry and square planar molecular geometry are produced as a result of sp3d2 hybridization. 

It is thought that a molecule with linear geometry is planar.

Hence, the total number of species which are planar are 9.
