As we learnt in 

Dettermination of shape of molecules using VSEPR Theory -

calculate \:X

X=(No.\;of\:valence\:electrons\:of\:central\:atom\:)+(No.\:of\:other\:atom\:)+(Negative\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)-(Positive\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)

-

 

 H=\frac{1}{2}\left [ V+M-C+A \right ]

for all SF_{4},I_{3}^{-},PCl_{5}

H = 5 or sp3d hyberdization 

but for SbCl_{5}^{2-},H=\frac{1}{2}\left [ 5+5+2-0 \right ]=6\:or\:sp^{3}d^{2}\:hybridisation


Option 1)

SF_{4}

This solution is incorrect 

Option 2)

I^{-}_{3}

This solution is incorrect 

Option 3)

SbCl^{2-}_{5}

This solution is correct 

Option 4)

PCl_{5}

This solution is incorrect
