Detailed Solution

Hybridization of ClF2 with sp3 (three lone pairs of Cl at three corners and two F at vertices). This gives it a linear shape.
ClF2+ is hybridised to form sp3 (two bond pairs with F and two lone pairs on Cl). As a result, it is curved.
The two free valence electron lone pairs and the Xe-O bond domain occupy the trigonal plane, while the Xe-F bond domains are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the trigonal plane, according to the geometry of XeOF2, which is compatible with a trigonal bipyramidal, AX2YE2, VSEPR arrangement.
Trigonal pyramidal is how IO2F2 is shaped (Sea-saw)
