Solution

A molecule is said to be planar if all the atoms of the molecule are in same plane.
The following molecules/ions are planar
$C O_{3}^{2 -}, N O_{3}^{-}, X e F_{4}, I_{3}^{-}, C O C l_{2}, S O_{3}, I_{2} C l_{6} (solid)$ because all the atoms lies in the same plane as can be seen from their structures.

$X e O_{4} a n d S F_{4}$ are non-planar.
