Step-by-step solution

In SF4SF_4, the central sulphur atom has 66 valence electrons. It forms 44 sigma bonds with fluorine atoms and has 11 lone pair. The steric number is 55, corresponding to sp3dsp^3d hybridization, and the shape is see-saw.

In BrF4⊖BrF_4^{\ominus}, the central bromine atom has 88 valence electrons (7+17 + 1). It forms 44 sigma bonds and has 22 lone pairs. The steric number is 66, corresponding to sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization, and the shape is square planar.

In CH4CH_4, the central carbon atom has 44 valence electrons. It forms 44 sigma bonds and has 00 lone pairs. The steric number is 44, corresponding to sp3sp^3 hybridization, and the shape is tetrahedral.

In IF4⊕IF_4^{\oplus}, the central iodine atom has 66 valence electrons (7−17 - 1). It forms 44 sigma bonds and has 11 lone pair. The steric number is 55, corresponding to sp3dsp^3d hybridization, and the shape is see-saw.

In XeF4XeF_4, the central xenon atom has 88 valence electrons. It forms 44 sigma bonds and has 22 lone pairs. The steric number is 66, corresponding to sp3d2sp^3d^2 hybridization, and the shape is square planar.

In XeO2F2XeO_2F_2, the central xenon atom has 88 valence electrons. It forms 44 sigma bonds (22 with oxygen, 22 with fluorine), 22 pi bonds, and has 11 lone pair. The steric number is 55, corresponding to sp3dsp^3d hybridization, and the shape is see-saw.

Therefore, IF4⊕IF_4^{\oplus} and XeO2F2XeO_2F_2 are isostructural with SF4SF_4.
