Detailed Solution

The presence of a sp3 hybridized carbon (or nitrogen) atom or two sp2 hybridized carbon/nitrogen atoms separated by an even number of double bonds and no single bonds will prevent the molecule from becoming planar. Otherwise, it might be planar due to its structure.

 C°F3sp3, C°H3sp2 In between these two. hyb. is in between sp2sp3.
