Which of following is correct set ?
Species Hybridisation shape
$X e F_{2}$ sp Linear

Solution

Out of the set, only ${X e O F}_{4}$ containing ${s p}^{3} d^{2}$ hybridisation and square pyramidal shape is correct.
For ${X e F}_{2} \to {s p}^{3} d \to$ Linear
${X e O_{2} F}_{2} \to {s p}^{3} d \to$ Tetrahedral
${X e O}_{3} \to {s p}^{3} \to$ Trigonal Pyramidal.
in question, correct set is,
${X e O F}_{4} \to {s p}^{3} d^{2} \to$ Square Pyramidal
