There are two non-bonding electron pairs,one above the plane and the other below the plane.

Vedclass · Answer

(C) For $XeF_5^-$,the number of valence electrons on $Xe$ is $8$. The charge is $-1$,so total valence electrons $= 8 + 5 + 1 = 14$. Number of electron pairs $= 14 / 2 = 7$. This corresponds to $sp^3d^3$ hybridisation. The geometry is pentagonal planar with two non-bonding electron pairs,one above the plane and the other below the plane.
