Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
XeF4 has a square planar structure. There are six electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom. This gives rise to an octahedral geometry based on valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
There are two lone pairs of electrons present on the central atom, hence the four bond pairs are found to occupy the corners of a square thereby giving a square planar compound. The two lone pairs are found above and blow the plane of the square.
