Here's why:
* Central atom: The central atom in carbonic acid is carbon.
* Valence electrons: Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
* Bonding: Carbon forms 4 bonds: 2 double bonds with oxygen atoms and 2 single bonds with hydroxyl groups (OH).
* Lone pairs: The carbon atom has no lone pairs of electrons.
Therefore, the electronic geometry around the carbon atom is trigonal planar.
Note: The molecular geometry of carbonic acid is different. Due to the presence of the two hydroxyl groups, the molecular geometry around the central carbon is bent (or V-shaped).
