  1. Answer:

    3) XeF6

    Explanation:

    In XeF6,Xe, the central atom contains 8 valence electrons. Out of which 6 are utilised with fluorine in bonding (i.e., it contains six bond pairs of electrons) while one pair remains as lone pair.

    Thus, the total pairs =6+1=7

    Hence, its shape is pentagonal bipyramid
