Q37.Which of the following has the square planar structure? (1) XeF4 (2) NH+4 (3) BFโˆ’4 (4) CCl4

What This Question Tests

This question tests the application of VSEPR theory to predict molecular geometries, specifically identifying which molecule exhibits a square planar structure based on its central atom's bonding and lone pairs.

Concepts Tested

Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theorySteric numberMolecular shapes

Formulas Used

Steric number = (number of bonded atoms) + (number of lone pairs)
