XeF4 has a shape of

  • spherical

  • trigonal bipyramidal

  • square planar

  • tetrahedral


C.

square planar

XeF4 = 4 bp + 2 lp = sp3d2 hybridisation

Thus, the structure of XeF4 should be octahedral but its geometry becomes square planar due to the presence of two lone pairs of electrons as
