Which structure for XeO_3 and XeF_4 are consistent with the VSEPR model

Answer»

`XeO_(3)`, trigonal pyramidal , `XeF_(4)`, square planar
`XeO_(3)`, trigonal planar, `XeF_(4)` square planar
`XeO_(3)` trigonal pyramidal , `XeF_(4)` tetrahedral
`XeO_(3)`, trigonal planar , `XeF_(4)` tetrahedral

SOLUTION :`XeO_(3), 3 sigma` bond and 1 lone pair, `sp^(3)` hybridisationshape trigonal pyramidal tetrahedral with one corner unccupied `XeF_(4), 4 sigma` bonds, 2 lone pair , `sp^(3)d^(2)` HYBRIDISATION SHAPE square planar.
