Question

A list of species having the formula XZ₄ is given below:
${XeF}_{4}, {SF}_{4}, {SiF}_{4}, {BF}_{4}^{-}, {BrF}_{4}^{-}, {[Cu {({NH}_{3})}_{4}]}^{2 +}, {[{FeCl}_{4}]}^{2 -}, {[{CoCl}_{4}]}^{2 -} and {[{PtCl}_{4}]}^{2 -}$
Defining shape on the basis of the location of X and Z atoms, the total number of species having a square planar shape is .. . . .

Moderate

Solution

XeF₄ - square planar, SF₄ - see-saw, SiF₄ tetrahedral, BF₄ - tetrahedral, BrF₄ - square planar,
${[Cu {({NH}_{3})}_{4}]}^{2 +} -$ square planar,
${[{FeCl}_{4}]}^{2 -}$ - $tetrahedral, {[{CoCl}_{4}]}^{2 -} - tetrahedral,$
${[{PtCl}_{4}]}^{2 -} - square planar.$
