Question

A list of species having the formula XZ${}_4$ is given below.

$Xe{F}_4,S{F}_4,Si{F}_4,B{F}_4^{-},Br{F}_4^{-},\left[Cu\right(N{H}_3{)}_4{]}^{2+},[FeC{l}_4{]}^{2-},[CoC{l}_4{]}^{2-}$ and $[PtC{l}_4{]}^{2-}$

Defining shape on the basis of the location of X and Z atoms, the total number of species having a square planar shape is:

Answer 1

$Xe{F}_4\to$ Square planar

$Br{F}_4^{-}\to$ Square planar

$\left[Cu\right(N{H}_3{)}_4{]}^{2+}\to$ Square planar

$[PtC{l}_4{]}^{2-}\to$ Square planar

$S{F}_4\to$ See-saw

$Si{F}_4\to$ Tetrahedral

$B{F}_4^{-}\to$ Tetrahedral

$[FeC{l}_4{]}^{2-}\to$ Tetrahedral

$[CoC{l}_4{]}^{2-}\to$ Tetrahedral
