It forms a face-centered cubic crystals. Under pressure these change to hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystals.
In solid xenon, the primary type of chemical bonding is van der Waals bonding. This bonding occurs due to the weak attraction forces between the xenon atoms. Solid xenon is a rare example of a molecular solid at low temperatures.
Copper is a metal & solid
CaCl2 forms an ionic crystalline solid because it is composed of positively charged calcium ions (Ca2+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-), which arrange in a repeating pattern to form a crystal lattice structure held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
Sugar is a molecular solid
The anhydrous barium chloride has an orthogonal crystalline structure.

Solid crystalline compounds.
Silicon is not a gas at all. In its elemental form it is a crystalline solid.

Solid xenon forms van der Waals bonds due to the weak attraction between its atoms. These bonds are formed by temporary dipoles that result from the unequal distribution of electrons around the xenon atoms.
