Question

A list of species having the formula XZ4 is given below.
$X e F_{4}, S F_{4}, S i F_{4}, B F_{4}^{-}, Br F_{4}^{-}, {[C u {(N H_{3})}_{4}]}^{2 +}, {[F e C l_{4}]}^{2 -}, {[C o C l_{4}]}^{2 -}$ and ${[P t C l_{4}]}^{2 -}$
Defining shape on the basis of the location of X and Z atoms, the total number of species having a square planar shape is
