1. Less than the octet
Elements B and Be
2. More than the octet
Elements from Period 3 and beyond. Since these elements have d orbitals (n=3, therefore they contain an s,p and d), the d orbital can accommodate extra electrons during bonding.
3. Free radicals
Molecules with at least one unpaired electron.

How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
What are 3 atoms are exceptions to the octet rule?
Boron is one. It exceeds the octet rule.
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
How does oxygen not follow the octet rule?
It does follow the octet rule!
Give example of octet rule?
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
Is NH3 an exception to the octet rule?
No, CH4 follows the octet 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
Will any of the chlorine oxides obey the octet rule?
No chlorine oxides will obey the octet rule.
What states that atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of valence electrons typically?
The octet rule.
Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
What is significant of octet rule?
The octet rule is the tendency of many chemical elements to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
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
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
