The central atom of XeF₄ is Xe.

Xe has eight valence electrons. Four of them are used to form four Xe-F bonds, and the other four form two lone pairs. Hence, the central atom has 6 valence electron pairs, including four bond pairs and two lone pairs, and thus the 6 valence electron pairs are arranged octahedrally.

A lone pairs exert a stronger repulsion on the other electron pairs than a bond pair. Hence, the two lone pairs are in opposite positions. Hence, the shape of XeF₄ molecule is square planar.

The molecule of XeF₄ is shown below :
