There are no states in the picture, but Na should have a "(s)" after it, and Cl2 should have a "(g)" after it. NaCl should have an "(s)". Chlorine is a diatomic element so it has a "2" subscript on it.

The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
