This is an exception to the octet rule, meaning you will have more than 8 electrons on the Xe in the center.
There are 12 electrons to be placed. 4 + 8 = 12. 4 comes from the hydrogens which each give one, and 8 from the Xe because it is in the 8A group.
They will be arranged so that all have a single bond to H and that leaves you with 4 electrons still to place to make 12. So they go on the Xe (two pairs).

What is the Lewis dot structure for xenon tetra hydride?
The Lewis dot structure for xenon tetrahydride (XeH4) consists of Xenon (Xe) at the center with four hydrogen (H) atoms bonded to it. Xenon has 8 valence electrons, so it shares one electron with each hydrogen to complete its octet. The structure forms a tetrahedral shape with Xenon as the central atom.
What is the hydride formula for xenon?
The hydride formula for xenon is XeH4. Xenon typically forms compounds with fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen, but it can also form a hydride by bonding with hydrogen.
What is the Lewis dot structure for XeH4?
The other answers are correct. There are four bonds and two lone pairs and it is an exception to the octet rule. But, I've always wondered why with those lone pairs on offer, hydrogen ions (ie protons) can't just attach, make dative covalent bonds and form XeH44+ ? It must be similar to why acids form H3O+ but not H4O2+ which should be theoretically possible with two lone pairs. I've got a degree in Chemistry, but nobody has ever explained these to me! Any ideas?
What is the formula of the hydride formed by xenon?
Xenon has been formed into two hydrides: xenon dihydride (HXeH), and later xenon hydride-hydroxide (HXeOH). Around the same time xenon was formed into hydroxenoacetylene (HXeCCH).
What is the IUPAC name of a compound with the structure "structure to IUPAC name converter"?
The IUPAC name of a compound with the structure "structure to IUPAC name converter" is not provided as it is not a valid chemical structure. Please provide a specific chemical structure for accurate naming.
Draw the structure of XeH4?
H . . / .. Xe --H / \ H H Something like that. There are 4 lone electrons (or two pairs) and the Xe is bonded to 4 H in this fashion (for some reason the dashes look like they are connected to the lone electrons, but they are not! The are bonded to the Xe). Hope this helps.
