Molecule AX4 have all bond angles equal and molecule is non-polar
also then which of the following conclusion is incorrect?

Show answer and solution
For AX_4 type molecule
If
μ\mu = 0, it is non-polar. It must be tetrahedral (or) square
planar.

Ex: CH4, SiH_4
→ \rightarrow \ tetrahedral (Zero lone pairs)
XeF_4, ICl_4
→ \rightarrow \ square planar (Two lone pairs)
