PCl5 has 5 bond pairs and 0lone pairs thus according to VSEPRT it has traigonal bipyramidal structure. Pic is included for reference.
XeF4 has 4bp and 2 lp. Total electron pairs = 6. Ideal shape should be octahedral, but due to two lone pairs, repulsion takes place and structure is square planar. Pic is included please have a look.
Pls mark brainliest.
