The number of species having a square planar shape from the following is

XeF4,SF4,SiF4,BF4−,BrF4−,[Cu(NH3)4]2+,[FeCl4]2−,[PtCl4]2−{XeF}_{4}, {SF}_{4}, {SiF}_{4}, {{BF}_{4}}^{-}, {{BrF}_{4}}^{-}, {\left[Cu{\left({NH}_{3}\right)}_{4}\right]}^{2 +}, {\left[{FeCl}_{4}\right]}^{2 -}, {\left[{PtCl}_{4}\right]}^{2 -}

Correct answer

4

Step-by-step solution

XeF4{XeF}_{4} is sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2} hybridised with two lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is square planar.

SF4{SF}_{4} is sp3d{sp}^{3}d hybridised with one lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is See saw.

SiF4{SiF}_{4} is sp3{sp}^{3} hybridised with zero lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is Tetrahedral

BF4−{{BF}_{4}}^{-} is sp3{sp}^{3} hybridised with zero lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is Tetrahedral

[Cu(NH3)4]2+[ Cu ( {NH}_{3}{)}_{4} ] {}^{2 +}is dsp2{dsp}^{2} hybridised and is Square planar

[FeCl4]2–[ {FeCl}_{4} ] {}^{2 –} is sp3{sp}^{3} hybridised and is Tetrahedral

[PtCl4]2–[ {PtCl}_{4} ] {}^{2 –}is dsp2{dsp}^{2} hybridised and is Square planar

BrF4−{{BrF}_{4}}^{-} is sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2} with Square planar geometry.

So, 44 square planer shape compounds are present.
