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.

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.


Does ClF5 obey octet rule?

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

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.


Does the Lewis structure of BH3 contain an atom that does not obey the octet rule?

Yes, in the Lewis structure of BH3, the boron atom does not follow the octet rule as it only has 6 electrons around it (2 electrons from each B-H bond). Boron is an exception to the octet rule and can form stable compounds with incomplete octets.


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


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).


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.
