Step-by-step solution

(A) XeF4{XeF}_{4}:

Match List I with List II List I List II A. XeF _ 4 I.See-saw B. SF _ 4 II. Square planar C. NH _ 4 ^ + III. Bent T -

XeXe has 4 bond pairs along with 2 lone pairs in the XeF4{XeF}_{4}. Thus, the hybridisation of XeXe is sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2}. Now since it contains two lone pairs it will show square planar geometry.

(B) SF4{SF}_{4}:

Match List I with List II List I List II A. XeF _ 4 I.See-saw B. SF _ 4 II. Square planar C. NH _ 4 ^ + III. Bent T -

The lone pair is an equatorial position, and there are two lone-pair—bond pair repulsions. Hence, it is more stable. So, the shape is described as a distorted tetrahedron, a folded square or a see-saw.

(C) NH4+{NH}_{4}^{+}:

Match List I with List II List I List II A. XeF _ 4 I.See-saw B. SF _ 4 II. Square planar C. NH _ 4 ^ + III. Bent T -

In this case steric number = lone pair + sigma bond = 0 + 4 = 4.

So, it is sp3 hybridisation. There is no lone pair present. Thus, the shape of this ion is tetrahedral.

(D) BrF3{BrF}_{3}:

Match List I with List II List I List II A. XeF _ 4 I.See-saw B. SF _ 4 II. Square planar C. NH _ 4 ^ + III. Bent T -

To decrease repulsion between the lone pairs, the molecule's structure is bent, making it T-shaped.
