See the Related Questions to the left for how to solve this problem.
First draw the Lewis Dot structures of each molecule, then count the valence electrons of each atom in the structures. Find the one that doesn't have eight!
In this case, there is actually a little trick. To follow the octet rule, each atom must have 8 valence electrons in the structure, right? Therefore, the molecule must have an even number of total electrons for that to work. So which molecule does not have an even number of total electrons?

How do covalent compounds obey the octet rule?
No. Some molecules, such as boron triflouride (BF3) and phosphorus pendachloride (PCl5) are octect violators.
How is CO2 written?
O=C=O carbon dioxide
Why is air homogeneous?
As a chemistry rule, all air-air mixtures are homogeneous. So the air is a mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Co2 and some more gases, the air is homogeneous.
What makes when these mix CO2 and H2O?
H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3 Also if you mix H2O with CO2(s) (common name dry ice) you get CO2 gas and an acidic CO2/H2O mixture.
What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
How do covalent compounds obey the octet rule?
No. Some molecules, such as boron triflouride (BF3) and phosphorus pendachloride (PCl5) are octect violators.
Why do covalent copounds form so many different types of bonds with the same atoms?
They have different arrangements but essentially its the same for example co2 and o2. all the molecules follow an octet rule so technically you're question for starters is wrong!
What formulas represents an ionic compound. CO2 CaCl2 H2O Br2?
CaCl2
What element is most likely to react Br2 CO2 HF or NaCl?
Hydrogen fluoride is the most reactive compound in this group (not element).

When the temperature rises is there more carbon dioxide in the air?
No, when the temperature rises, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air remains the same. However, the rate at which carbon dioxide is being emitted or absorbed by the environment may be affected by temperature changes.
How is CO2 written?
O=C=O carbon dioxide
Examples of nonpolar molecule?
The most common examples of totally nonpolar molecules are the elements with diatomic molecules, such as N2, O2, F2, etc.
Carbon electron configuration?
The electron configuration for carbon dioxide (CO2) is... Oxygen 6 valence electrons, multiplied by 2 added to Carob which has 4 valence electrons, totals to 16 divided by 2 makes the required bonds 8 : :O=C=O: : octet rule is observed. *Also* Carbon and Oxygen have an electronegativity difference bewteeen 0 and .5 so we know that a nonpolar bond is formed and that bond will have even distribution of electrons as is seen in the result.
Why is air homogeneous?
As a chemistry rule, all air-air mixtures are homogeneous. So the air is a mixture of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Co2 and some more gases, the air is homogeneous.
