Hey,

XeF2 have not dipole moment and permanent dipole moment
because,

The hybridisation of Xe in XeF2 is sp3d i.e the geometry is trigonal pyramidal with 3 lone pair and 2 bond pair.

The three lone pair are arranged in the same plane and the shape of the XeF2 molecule is linear.

Due to symmetry, the dipole moment vector cancels out and thus XeF2 is a non-polar molecule.

The dipole moment of XeF2 is zero.

Hope it helps you
