Solution

$X e F_{2}$ has a linear structure with $s p^{3} d$ hybridization of central $X e$ atom and 3 lone pairs of electrons and two bond pairs of electrons.
$X e F_{6}$ has distorted pentagonal bipyramidal structure with $s p^{3} d^{3}$ hybridization of central $X e$ atom and 1 lone pair of electrons and 6 bond pairs of electrons.
