Q. A list of species is given below:
$XeF _{4}, CH _{4}, NH _{4}^{+}, SF _{4}, ClO _{4}^{-},\left[ PtCl _{4}\right]^{2-}$
The total number of species having square planar shape is_____.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

$XeF _{4}$ and $\left[ PtCl _{4}\right]^{2-}$ have square planar shape. $CH _{4}, NH _{4}^{+}$and $ClO _{4}^{-}$are tetrahedral. $SF _{4}$ is see-saw shaped.
