In $XeF _6$, the central $Xe$ atom undergoes $sp ^3 d ^3$ hybridisation and the molecular geometry is distorted octahedral with $1$ lone pair and $6$ bond pairs of electrons.

In $XeO _3$, the central $Xe$ atom undergoes $sp ^3$ hybridisation and the molecular geometry is pyramidal with $1$ lone pair and $3$ bonding domains of electrons.

In $XeOF _4$, the central $Xe$ atom undergoes $sp ^3 d ^2$ hybridization and the molecular geometry is square pyramidal with $1$ lone pair and $5$ bond pairs of electrons.

In $XeF _4$, the central $Xe$ atom undergoes $sp ^3 d ^2$ hybridization and the molecular geometry is square planar with $2$ lone pairs and $4$ bond pairs of electrons.
