Planar species (6): $\dot{C}{H}_3$ (sp² hybridized radical), Be₂H₄ and Be₂Cl₄ (sp² bridged dimers), I₂Cl₆ (edge-sharing square planar dimer), NO₂ (bent geometry), and N₂O₄ (completely symmetrical flat molecule).

Non-planar species (4): $\dot{C}{F}_3$ (sp³ pyramidal due to strong fluorine electronegativity), B₂H₆ and Al₂H₆ (sp³ structures with perpendicular bridge bonds), and (BeH₂)n (extended tetrahedral polymeric chain).

the total number of planar species is 6.
