Question:

The shape of SF4 and XeF2 respectively are: see-saw and linear, T-shape and linear, square planar and trigonal bipyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

see-saw and linear

T-shape and linear

square planar and trigonal bipyramidal

trigonal bipyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal

Solution:

SF4 has a see-saw shape as it contains four bond pairs and one lone pair. XeF2 has sp3d hybridization and linear geometry due to the presence of three lone pairs. Hence option B is correct.
