This workout is OK, but not great.

You'll certainly see progress if you're just starting out, but likely you'll stall-out after a while.

Here's a rundown of some improvements you could make:

There's not quite enough volume. 9-10 sets per workout isn't usually enough. Aim for 15-20.

This is a bodypart-split.
Ideally, each muscle-group would get trained 2-3 times per week. Here, your quads get a workout once, whereas hamstrings are completely ignored. You should add a deadlifting day.

Too much isolation for your Bi's and Tri's. Biceps and triceps are rather small muscles and working them isn't going to be as efficient as working bigger muscle-groups. Don't do bicep curls, do pull-downs/pull-ups/rowing. Swap the tricep dips for bench-press. Do more squats and deadlifting, your body is a machine that needs to stay balanced.

This is a routine, you need a program. Look-up 'Starting Strength', 'Strong Lifts', or 'The New Rules of Lifting'. All of those describe a complete program (i.e. multiple routines, how to do them, how many repetitions, tempo, etc.) from just starting out, to how to progress once you've made it past the newbie-gains stage.
