Well, Xe F4, has individual ionic bonds between the Xenon and flourines facing in opposite directions along with the lone pairs on Xe. This makes this species non-ionic. If you want a tip to check if you have an ionic compound, check if the electronegativity difference of the two atoms is greater than one. If it is greater than one you have an ionic species. However, this does not nessacarily determine if its is ionic or not. You must look at the directions of dipoles. If the dipole cancel out than it will be non-ionic. Such that in XeF4
