Q. $AX_{4}$ forms square planar type structure. Distance between $A$ and $X-$atoms is $4$ units. What is distance between two $X-$atoms in trans-position?

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Distance between $A$ and $X = 4$ units
Thus, distance between two $X$-atoms $= 4 \times 2 = 8$ units.
