Detailed Solution

In each case Xe has 1 l.p.

In XeO3, Xe has 8 electrons in its valence shell, 6 of which are used to link with 3 O atoms, while the remaining 2 electrons act as a lone pair that is not bonded to anything.

In the compound XeOF4, Xe has 8 electrons in its valence shell, 6 of which are utilised to form bonds with the atoms 1 O and 4 F, while the remaining 2 electrons form a lone pair.

In XeF6, of the 8 electrons in Xe's valence shell, 6 are utilised to form bonds with the 6 F atoms, leaving 2 electrons as a lone pair.
