Answer 1

The described molecule has a central atom with two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds. This arrangement corresponds to a structure where the lone pairs occupy axial positions in an octahedral geometry, while the four bonds occupy the equatorial positions.

Therefore, the correct molecular geometry is **square planar**.
