Answer #1

a) XeF5+

In this Xe is the central atom with 5 bond pairs and one lone pair ( total 7 electrons) , thus has 6 hybrid orbitals with d2sp3 hybridization.

b) IF4-

I has 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs ( total 8 electrons) , thus 6 pairs of electrons and d2sp3 hybridisation to accommodate .

c) SF6

S has 6 bond pairs and no lone pairs, so d2sp3 hybridisation

d) SeF5-

Se has 5 bond pair and one lone pair , so d2sp3.

OPTION E is correct.
