Answer:
4.00
Solution:

The total number of compounds with planar geometry in the list is 4.

 

BF₃: Trigonal planar due to sp² hybridization of Boron.

N(SiH₃)₃: Planar because the Nitrogen lone pair is involved in pπ-dπ back-bonding with Silicon.

I₂Cl₆: Exists as a planar dimer with two bridged Chlorine atoms.

Be₂Cl₄: The vapor phase dimer is planar with sp² hybridized Beryllium.

 

The remaining species (B₂H₆, N(CH₃)₃, SiO₂, and Al₂Cl₆) have non-planar or 3D network structures.
