The central Xe atom in the XeF4 molecule has unbonded electron pair(s) and bonded electron pair(s) in its valence shell.

Lewis structure in attachment.

Explanation:

Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the  periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the  central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also  have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form  an expanded octet.

The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has two unbonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
