The molecular geometry is square planar.

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of valence electrons surrounding the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In this case, the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory is octahedral. However, the lone pairs on opposite sides of the four single bonds leads to a square planar molecular geometry.
