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

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

Q. AX4​ forms square planar type structure. Distance between A and X−atoms is 4 units. What is distance between two X−atoms in trans-position?

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

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

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