Explain the structure of TMV.

Explanation

`XeF_4: XeF_4` is square planar. Xe undergoes `sp^(3) d^2` hydridisation.


There are two lone pairs and four bond pairs. The four bond pairs overlap end-end with `2P_z` orbitals of four F atoms.
`XeF_6 : XeF_6` has distorted octohedral shapes. `XeF_6` has seven electron pairs. (6 bonding and one lone pair). It has a distorted octahedral structure in the gas phase.
