Answer:

To decide the shape of molecule, VSEPR theory takes into consideration bond pairs and lone pairs. The shape of BrF4– is square planar because the central atom Bromine is sp3d2 hybridized. The central atom Br has four bond pairs and two lone pairs present on it. The electron pair geometry of BrF4– is octahedral.
