Detailed Solution

XeF4 has sp3d2hybridization with 2 lone pairs so, it has square planar structure.

XeF4 has a steric number of 6. There are two lone pairings and four bond pairs.
Fluoride's four atoms form a connection with its four electrons. All four of them are in the same plane. To reduce the repulsion between lone and bond pairs of electrons, the two non-bonded pairs of electrons (lone pair) are positioned along the perpendicular axis, resulting in a square planar molecular shape.
