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

XeF4, SF4, SiF4, BF4-, BrF4-, CuNH342+, FeCl42-, PtCl42-

Answer:
4.00
Solution:

XeF4 is sp3d2 hybridised with two lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is square planar.

SF4 is sp3d hybridised with one lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is See saw.

SiF4 is sp3 hybridised with zero lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is Tetrahedral

BF4- is sp3 hybridised with zero lone pairs of electrons, hence, it is Tetrahedral

[Cu(NH3)4] 2+ is dsp2 hybridised and is Square planar

[FeCl4] 2 is sp3 hybridised and is Tetrahedral

[PtCl4] 2 is dsp2 hybridised and is Square planar

BrF4-  is sp3d2 with  Square planar geometry.

So, 4 square planer shape compounds are present.
