moloecules that do not follow the octet rule will seek to have more than a full octet.

The reason why some of these compounds exhibit paramagnitisim is due to the intrinsic nature of paramagnatisim.

Substances that have one unpaired electron are paramagnetic and those with no unpaired electrons are diamagnetic.

So a substance with 9 electrons is likely to be paramagnetic and those with even numbers are likely to be diamagnetic.

To tell if a compound is dia or para magnetic it is advisable to draw its structure and count the electrons and then place the electrons into a crystal field stabilisation enetgy diagram(C.F.S.E.) following the rules for the ligands(high/low spin, separation energy, spectrochemical series) this will give you the C.F.S.E. in bhor magnatons and if the molecule is diamagnetic or paramagnetic.

A noble gas with incomplete octet?

Noble gases are typically characterized by having a complete octet of electrons in their outermost shell, making them generally unreactive. However, under certain conditions, some noble gas compounds can form, leading to the presence of noble gas species with incomplete octets, such as in the case of xenon difluoride (XeF2), where xenon can exhibit an incomplete octet. Nonetheless, these instances are exceptions and do not represent the norm for noble gases.


Do you always follow the octet rule when drawing a Lewis structure?

No, the octet rule is a guideline, but there are exceptions for certain molecules and ions where atoms may have more or fewer than eight electrons in their valence shell. These exceptions typically involve elements from period 3 and below and can include expanded octets, odd-electron species, and species with incomplete octets.


Which three elements violate the octet rule?

The octet rule cannot be satisfied in molecules whose total number of valence electrons is an odd number.There are also molecules in which an atom has fewer, or more, than an octet of valence 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.

Which of the following elements are capable of forming molecules in which an atom has an expanded octet C P B O Se?

The elements in period 3 and above have d orbitals available for bonding which makes the "expansion" of the octet more likely. period 2 elements do not, the 2d shell has only s and p orbitals. P is in period 3, an example is PCl5 with 5 electron pairs. Se in period 4 can also expand its octet, an example is SeF6, with 6 electron pairs.


What molecules do not violate the octet rule?

I think two elements that does not follow the octet rule are boron and beryllium. These elements always have one electron pair less than normal configuration. Boron is an important element for our body.
