Detailed Solution

XeF4 has a square planar form. Four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons make up the centre Xe atom. It proceeds through sp3d2 hybridization, resulting in square planar molecular geometry and octahedral electron geometry. The two isolated groups are situated at the four corners of an octahedron. This reduces their mutual repulsion.
