The biggest trigonal planar vs. trigonal pyramidal difference lies in the presence of a lone pair of electrons in the central atom of the latter and its absence in the former. Additionally, trigonal planar displays bond-bond repulsion while trigonal pyramidal displays both bond-bond and bond-lone pair repulsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
