An explanation of the molecular
An explanation of the molecular geometry for the XeF4 (Xenon tetrafluroide) including a description of the XeF4 bond angles. The electron geometry for the Xenon tetrafluroide is also provided.
The ideal bond angle for the Xenon tetrafluroide is 90 or 180° since it has a Square planar molecular geometry. Experimentally we would expect the bond angle to be approximately Approx. 90 or 180°.

To determine the molecular geometry, or shape for a compound like XeF4, we complete the following steps:
1) Draw the Lewis Structure for the compound.
2) Predict how the atoms and lone pairs will spread out when the repel each other.
3) Use a chart based on steric number (like the one in the video) or use the AXN notation to find the molecular shape. This will be determined by the number of atoms and lone pairs attached to the central atom.
If you are trying to find the electron geometry for XeF4 we would expect it to be Octahedral.
