Best Answer

No it is not fully obeying the octet rule.

Boron has only 6 electrons (3 own + 3 from each F atom), lacking two for the octet.

Fluorine is 3x satisfied, each with 8 electrons (each has 7 own plus 1 from boron).

There is no chemical by the formula BF6.

BF3 exists, but it doesn't obey octet rule

No. Some molecules, such as boron triflouride (BF3) and phosphorus pendachloride (PCl5) are octect violators.
