It is one of many, many exceptions to the octet rule. Hydrogen does NOT require 8 electrons.

In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
Which of the atoms don't always obey the octet rule H O Br?
Chlorine Cl : it can have a higher valence (ClO2, HClO3) than predicted by the octet rule. Hydrogen H and oxygen O cannot escape the octet rule.
What rule do the nonmetal atoms follow?
octet rule
What atoms dont always obey the octet rule?
Hydrogen does not obey the octet rule. Boron does not always obey the octet rule and in fact forms Lewis acids such as BF3 which only has 6 electrons.
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
What is the exception to the octet rule?
It is limit, stus
Is oxygen an exception to the octet rule?
Yes, oxygen is an exception to the octet rule. Molecular oxygen can have two unpaired electrons making it a biradical molecule.
Does BeF2 obey the octet rule?
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).
Why is boron an exception to the octet rule?
Boron has two few valence electrons to ever obtain a full octet.
Is PF5 an exception to the Lewis octet rule?
P certainly obeys the octet rule in phosphides: PH3, Na3P etc.
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Substance that is the exception to the rule of expansion and contraction?
Water is the substance that is an exception to this rule. Although most other substance follow this rule, the hydrogen bond in water is the characteristic associated with this exception.
Give example of octet rule?
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
Does lithium follow the octet rule?
Sort of. Lithium loses one electron in order to achieve the noble gas configuration of helium, which has only two valence electrons in its 1s sublevel. The octet rule refers to the fact that atoms share or transfer electrons in order to achieve a noble gas configuration with eight valence electrons, called an octet. Helium is an exception to the rule.
What are 3 atoms are exceptions to the octet rule?
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
