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 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 the Lewis structure of BH3 contain an atom that does not obey the octet rule?
BH3 does not obey octet rule.it has a total of six electrons only.boron has three electrons in the valence shell and it accepts one electron from each hydrogenBH3 is a planar molecule and is found only in the gaseous state.BH3 dimerises to form B2H6 with 4 terminal hydrogens attached by normal covalent bonds and 2 hydrogen bridges , 3 centre 2 electron bonds. Once again in the dimer it does not obey the octet rule.
Does ClF5 obey octet rule?
Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.
How does calcium obey the octet rule when reating to form compounds?
because it does
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).
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the 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.
In which bonding patterns does X obey the octet rule?
no it does not follow octet rule

How does sodium obey the octet rule when reacting to form compounds?
Yes

What do not obey the octet rule cs2 ci4 no3 po43 sci4?
H and I SCl4 ICl3 SeCI4 F2CCF2
Which of the atoms below dont always obey the octet rule?
H and l
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 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).
