 Square planar molecular geometry

Square planar molecular geometry is a type of molecular arrangement where a central atom is surrounded by four other atoms or groups, all lying in the same plane and forming a square shape. This geometry typically occurs when the central atom is in a state of d2sp3 hybridization and has an octahedral electron pair geometry. Key characteristics of square planar geometry include: 1. **Bond Angles**: The bond angles between the surrounding atoms are 90 degrees.
