As we learned in concept

Oxide of Xenon -

XeF_2 + H_2O \rightarrow X_{e}+2HF+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}

2XeF_4 + 4H_2O \rightarrow X_{e}O_{3}+8HF+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}

 

- wherein

Due to high electronegativity of oxygen it form coumpound with Xe

 

 X_{2}O_{4} is sp^{3} hybridized and has tetrahedral shape and not square planer


Option 1)

XeO_{4} molecule is tetrahedral

This is incorrect option

XeO_{4} molecule is square planar

This is correct option

Option 3)

There are four p\pi -d\pi bonds
