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.

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.
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
What do not obey the octet rule cs2 ci4 no3 po43 sci4?
H and I SCl4 ICl3 SeCI4 F2CCF2
How do metals obey the Lewis octet rule?
The elements can be described by dot structure. Metals combine with other elements to make its octet complete.
Which of the atoms below dont always obey the octet rule?
H and l

Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
Does PO4 negative three charge 3 obey the octet rule?
The oxygen atoms in the ion do obey the octet rule. The phosphorus atom has more than eight electrons in its valence shell. It is because of the existence of vacant 3d orbitals.
Does ClF5 obey octet rule?
Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.
Which statements about the octet rule is are true?
The bolded statements are true:1. The octet rule can be violated. 2. Atoms are most stable when their atomic number is divisible by 8.3. All free atoms contribute eight valence electrons to form molecules.4. Only the oxygen atom can have an expandable octet.5. In order to obey the octet rule, some atoms have to share more than one pair of electrons.
How do covalent compounds obey the octet rule?
No. Some molecules, such as boron triflouride (BF3) and phosphorus pendachloride (PCl5) are octect violators.
Does SF2 obey octet rule?
No, SF6 doesn't. If you draw out the Lewis structure, all 6 fluorine atoms have to connect to the sulfur.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule
If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?
Covalent.
Does PCl2F3 follow the octet rule?
yes PCl3 obey octet rule there are 5 electrons in the valence shell of phosphorous it need 3 electron to complete its octet so it form bond with 3 chlorine after bond formation there are 8 electron in its octet it obey octet rule
How does calcium obey the octet rule when reating to form compounds?
because it does
