Detailed Solution

In Xenon there are eight outermost electrons present and hence can able to form  Eight bonds with other atoms.

In XeO4, each oxygen forms a double bond with xenon. So all eight electrons of xenon participate in bond formation. Hybridization of XeO4 is sp3 .All are bond pairs and there are no lone pairs, XeO4,  shape  is tetrahedral. 

In XeO3, each oxygen forms a double bond with xenon. Only six electrons of xenon participate in bond formation and left one lone pair. Hybridization of XeO3 is sp3, shape is pyramidal.

In XeF4, each fluorine atom forms a single bond with xenon. Only four electrons of xenon participate in bond formation and left two lone pairs. Hybridization of XeF4 is sp3d2, shape is square planar.

In XeF2, each fluorine atom forms a single bond with xenon. Only two electrons of xenon participate in bond formation and left three lone pairs. Hybridization of XeF4 is sp3d, shape is linear.
