Solution
XeOF4 Number of bond pairs =5 Number of lone pair =1 Hybridization =5+1=6 ⇒sp3d2 Octahedral geometry and shape of XeOF4 is given below. Because of lone pair repulsions, all F−Xe=O bond angles becomes less than 900 and two F−Xe−F bond angles make 1200 and the reamaining two F−Xe−F bond anlgles make 600
