Xenon does not have to follow the octet rule because of its access to the 4d sublevel. The Lewis structure of XeO3 places a Xe in the center, double bonded to three O atoms and with one lone pair on the Xe.
in XeO3 ,Xe shows sp3 but shape is pyramidal because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the central xenon atom. This lone pair distorts the shape of the molecule making it pyramidal.
