Ans: Xe is the central atom.
Because O is a bivalent group, there is no monovalent group connected to the centre atom.
Number of valency electrons = 8
Charge = 0
n=V+M±C2
M is the number of monovalent atoms that are bonded to a single central atom.
C = charge of the radical
n=82
n = 4
As a result, Xe hybridisation in XeO3 is sp3.
