Detailed Solution

CO2 molecule, the hybridization of central atom (Carbon) is sp.  So, the geometry of CO2  molecule is linear.  In XeF2  molecule, the hybridization of central atom at Xe is sp3d2 . There are two bond pairs are positioned by180°  around Xe and three lone pair of electrons are oriented around the central atom Xe in order to minimize the repulsion forces.  Therefore, the final geometry of XeF2  is linear.  Here, we can see the structures of XeF2  and CO2 in the below:
