Open in App
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 FXe=O bond angles becomes less than 900 and two FXeF bond angles make 1200 and the reamaining two FXeF bond anlgles make 600
