Question:

The molecules having the same hybridization, shape and number of lone pairs of electrons are: SeF4, XeO2F2, SF4, XeF2, XeOF4, TeF4, SeCl4, XeF4

XeOF4,TeF4

SeCl4,XeF4

SeF4,XeO2F2

SF4,XeF2

Solution:

SeF4 and XeO2F2 are both sp3d hybridized, trigonal bipyramidal and see-saw shaped with 1 lone pair of electrons each. SF4 has 1 lone pair, XeF2 has 3 lone pairs. XeOF4 is square pyramidal with 1 lone pair, TeF4 is see-saw shaped with 1 lone pair. SeCl4 has see-saw shape with 1 lone pair, XeF4 has a planar shape with 2 lone pairs. Hence, option C is correct.
