Correct Answer - C
(1) The hybridi sation of `XeF_(4)` is `sp^(3)d^(2)` and shape is square planar. `XeF_(4) : sp^(3) d^(2)` : square planar
(2) The hybridisation of `XeF_(5)^(oplus)` is `sp^(3)d^(2)` and shape is distorted square pyramidal.
(3) The hybridisation of `XeF_(6)` is `sp^(3)d^(3)` and shape is distorted octahedral
(4) the hybridisation of `XeF_(5)^(-)` is `sp^(3)d^(3)` and shape is pentagonal planar.
