It will be weakly polar as a neutral compound, due to the presence of 1 unshared pair of electrons around the central xenon atom. (Additionally, the relatively large number of electrons in this compound will yield temporary dipoles in the form of dispersion forces.) If it's an ion, then I would need to know its charge. If its charge is +2 (meaning it has lost 2 electrons,) then that ion would be non-polar.
