the Xenon itself is an electron, so it doesn't have an ion charge
No. Xenon does not form ions.
The neutral state.
It is an isotope of a neutral atom.
When Ionizing Xenon you can only loss electrons. A +2 or +1 ion. Incoming electrons have no inclination to stay as all inter-S orbitals are filled.
Xenon does not readily form an ion.

I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)

It is a nob,e gas so very rarely forms an ion but when it does it is an even cation.
One industry that uses xenon is the communication satellite industry. Many dozens of these satellites use xenon for their station keeping electric propulsion systems. Both Ion and Hall electric thrusters can run on xenon.
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
