SF4 has seesaw shape (5 pairs of electrons) and XeF4 has square planar shape (6 pairs of electrons)

Q. Of the three molecules $X e F_{4}, S F_{4}, S i F_{4}$ one which have tetrahedral structures is

all the three

only $S i F_{4}$

both $S F_{4}$ and $X e F_{4}$

only $S F_{4}$ and $X e F_{4}$

$S F_{4}$ has seesaw shape (5 pairs of electrons) and $X e F_{4}$ has square planar shape (6 pairs of electrons)
