Answer :
Valence electron Xenon : 8
1) XeF₂
- Bond pairs : 2
- Lone pairs : 3
- Total pairs : 5
- Hybridisation : sp³d
- Shape : Linear
2) XeF₄
- Bond pairs : 4
- Lone pairs : 2
- Total pairs : 6
- Hybridisation : sp³d²
- Shape : Square planar
3) XeF₆
- Bond pairs : 6
- Lone pairs : 1
- Total pairs : 7
- Hybridisation : sp³d³
- Shape : Distorted octahedral
