What Is The Lewis Structure For Xenon Tetrafluoride?
The Lewis structure for xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) consists of a Xenon atom surrounded by four Fluorine atoms with single bonds, and two pairs of non-bonding electrons on the Xenon atom. This arrangement results in a square planar geometry with 90-degree bond angles between each Fluorine atom and the Xenon atom. The non-bonding electron pairs are positioned perpendicular to the plane formed by the Fluorine atoms, giving the molecule an overall symmetry of D4h.
