Detailed Solution

Because of the sp3d2 electron geometry of the octahedron. Lone pairs of electrons are located on either side of the centre atom in the two orbitals of this structure. A molecule with a square planar structure is created by the remaining four atoms that are attached to the core atom.
On the other hand, a square pyramid-shaped molecule results from connecting the remaining five atoms to the core atom and a single pair of electrons in one orbital.
