Question:

The geometry of XeOF4 according to VSEPR theory is: octahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, pentagonal planar, square pyramidal

square pyramidal

octahedral

pentagonal planar

trigonal bipyramidal

Solution:

The geometry of XeOF4 by VSEPR theory is square pyramidal. The central Xe atom in XeOF4 has one lone pair of electron and 5 bonding domains. Hence, it undergoes sp3d2 hybridization.
