A molecule xy₄ has four Bond pairs and lone pairs of electrons for its central atom will have square planar geometry .
Explanation:
Geometry
It refers to three dimensional space that molecules possess in space .
The geometry depends upon number of Bond and lone pairs .
Bond pairs
They are those pair of electrons that participate in bond formation .
Lone pairs
They are those pairs that do not participate in bond formation .
XY₄ geometry description :
We are provided with an molecule which has 4 Bond pairs and 2 lone pairs around central atom like in XeF₄(xenon tetra fluoride ).
In it the molecule has square planar geometry ,in which four Y atoms are placed at square corners and the 2 lone pairs are placed above and below the plane of molecule .
The X atom is placed in center with F at corners and also surrounded by lone pairs .
