Beryllium (Be) is an element in group 2 of the Periodic Table. It has 2 energy levels and 2 valence electrons in the outermost energy level. It reacts by losing 2 electrons to attain a noble gas structure.

No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.


Does AmH3 obeys the octect rule?

No, Transition metals do not obey the octet rule in simple compounds , Am is an 'f' block transition metal.


How does neon obey the octet rule when reacting to form ionic compounds?

Neon does not typically form ionic compounds because it already has a full valence shell with 8 electrons, satisfying the octet rule. Its electron configuration (1s^2 2s^2 2p^6) makes it very stable and unreactive with other elements.

What molecules does not obey the octet rule?

BF3 and other Lewis acids. Also BrF5 and other inter-halogen compounds.


What law state that in forming compounds atoms tend to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas?

It is called the octet rule.


Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?

Yes, both Cu+ and Cu2+ violate the octet rule. Copper (Cu) is an exception to the octet rule due to its electron configuration, which allows it to have a partially filled d orbital. This leads to Cu forming compounds where it does not achieve a full octet of electrons.


How do covalent compounds obey the octet rule?

Covalent compounds obey the octet rule by sharing electrons between atoms in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, usually 8 electrons. This sharing allows each atom to achieve greater stability by filling its valence shell with the desired number of electrons.


Does ClF5 obey octet rule?

Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.


What do not obey the octet rule cs2 ci4 no3 po43 sci4?

Cs2, NO3, and PO43 do not obey the octet rule because they have an odd number of valence electrons. CI4 and SCI4 do not obey the octet rule because the central atom (Cl or S) exceeds the octet by having more than eight valence electrons.


Which molecule obeys the octet rule cl3cf bcl3 no sbf5 beh2?

BCl3 and BEH2 obey the octet rule because Boron and Beryllium are exceptions to the octet rule and can have stable electron configurations with less than 8 electrons. Cl3CF, NO, and SbF5 do not obey the octet rule because they have incomplete or expanded valence shells.


Which of the atoms don't always obey the octet rule H O Br?

Hydrogen is the atom that doesn't always obey the octet rule. It only needs 2 electrons to have a full outer shell, rather than the 8 electrons typically required by the octet rule. Oxygen and bromine usually follow the octet rule.
