Xe is central atom and has an expanded valence.
Since it is the central atom you will put it in the middle.
Xe
this is hard to demonstrate so I apologize if you get confused. Continuing, you will then place the 4 Flourines around the Xe. Each F has 7 valence electrons.

each F will have a single bond with Xenon. Then oxygen will have a double bond with Xenon to complete the Lewis structure.

Hope this helped!!

∙ 14y agoThis 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 structure for Xenon?
It would be the Xe surrounded by 8 dots.
What is the dot notation for xenon?
If you are referring to a Lewis Dot Structure, Xenon has Xe surrounded by eight dots.
What is the Lewis structure for gef4?
The Lewis dot structure for Xe starts with the Xe atom in the center. There are six possible bond locations for Xe, on four of them there is a singly bonded H atom. On the other two are a pair of dots.
What is the Lewis Structure of Cl2O7?

When was Lewis structure created?
Lewis structure was created in 1916.
What is the Lewis structure for Xenon?
It would be the Xe surrounded by 8 dots.
What is the dot notation for xenon?
If you are referring to a Lewis Dot Structure, Xenon has Xe surrounded by eight dots.
How do you write the structure for XeO3?
Xenon does not have to follow the octet rule because of its access to the 4d sublevel. The Lewis structure of XeO3 places a Xe in the center, double bonded to three O atoms and with one lone pair on the Xe.

What is the electronic structure of neodymium?
Neodymium is: [Xe] 6s2 4f4.
What is the Lewis dot structure of bicarbonate ion?
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
Do XeF4 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
What is the Lewis structure of XeOF4?
Xenon (Xe) does not have to follow the octet rule because of its access to the 4d sublevel. Xe is placed in the center and single bonded to two fluorine atoms that are 180 degrees apart. There are 3 lone pairs on the Xe atom.
Lewis structure of K2O?
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
