Find the maximum number of atom in one plane in given species $CF_{2} (CF_{3})_{2}$

Answer:

Solution:

The central carbon is sp³ hybridized ( tetrahedral).

In tetrahedral:

Max coplanar atoms = 4 (one face of tetrahedron)

But if substituents considered → one CF₃ group contributes atoms in same plane

After proper visualization:

Maximum atoms in one plane = 5
