Xenon tetroxide is a chemical compound of xenon and oxygen with molecular formula XeO4 remarkable for being a relatively stable compound of a noble gas. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is stable below −35.9 °C; above that temperature it is very prone to explode decomposing into elemental xenon and oxygen (O2).All eight valence electrons of xenon are involved in the bonds with the oxygen and the oxidation state of the xenon atom is +8.
