Consider two covalent compounds

AL_{n_1}

and

BL_{n_2}

, if central atom (A) of first compounds has total six electron pairs and central atom (B) of second compound contains total five electron pairs in its valence shell and both compounds are planar and non-polar then calculate value of expression

(n_1 - n_2)^2

. [where

n_1

and

n_2

are number of monovalent surrounding atom (L)]
