Xenon tetrafluoride, XeF4, is one of the chemical compounds derived from the noble gas xenon. It was the first discovered noble gas compound containing a noble gas and exactly one other element.cite book|last=Zumdahl|title=Chemistry|isbn=0-618-52844-X|pages=243] It forms by the reaction of Xe and F2 in the ratio of 1 mol Xe to 2 mol F2.

pmid= 17798707] The structure is square planar. This structure is justified by VSEPR theory because xenon has two lone pairs of electrons above and below the plane of the molecule. ["What are the chemical properties of xenon tetrafluoride?" WikiAnswers. Access date 9/17/08. [http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_chemical_properties_of_xenon_tetrafluoride link] ]

Xenon tetrafluoride occurs as colorless crystals. It sublimes at 115.7 °C (240.26 °F).

Xenon fluorides are all exergonic and stable at normal temperatures. They do react readily with water, even pulling water from air, so they must be kept in anhydrous conditions.
