Is it just an imagination to explain the changes in the level of d-orbitals from octahedral to tetrahedral?
It is not a real explanation, right?
Therefore, how to explain why square planar complex is square planar?
By hybridization only?

Don't waste your time learn it via MO Theory not VESPR.
You can actually deduce the hybridization once you've learned your MO theory well.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3.
