    option D

    The lone pairs of Xenon lie in the perpendicular plane in an octahedral arrangement. Therefore, XeF4 molecular geometry is square planar. The bond angles are 90o or 180°. The lone pairs lie on the opposite sides of the molecule basically at 180° from each other.

    it show sp3d2 hybridization but due to 2 lps it accept squar planar geometry

    option D is correct

    eduncle-logo-app

    XeF4 is square planar

    eduncle-logo-app

    geo should be octahedral ??

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes it's geometry is octahedral

    eduncle-logo-app

    Question is wrong

    eduncle-logo-app

    In CN 4 only transition element has square planar geometry

    eduncle-logo-app

    for main group CN 4 has tetrahedral geometry

    eduncle-logo-app

    So question should about shape
