Detailed Solution

In all the given reaction it is observed that the so3 has the structure of trigonal planner and all the other molecule has the other structure.

(a)N2+3H22NH3 (Pyramidal)

(b) 2CO+O22CO2 (Linear)

(c) PCl3+Cl2PCl5 (TBP)

(d) 2SO2+O22SO3 (Trigonal planar)

Sulfur trioxide is known to be a sulfuric acid anhydride. The trigonal planar structure of SO3has a bond angle of 1200. The triangular planar molecule SO3 in the gas phase requires sp2 hybridization of the S atom.
