The octet rule is a rule in chemistry where elements want to form bonds to attain 8 electrons in their valence shell. An example of this would be sodium chloride.

Bonds that don't have 8 electrons in their valence shell don't follow this rule

Does BCl3 follow the octet rule?

No, BCl3 does not follow the octet rule as boron only has 6 valence electrons in this molecule. Boron can form stable compounds with less than an octet due to its electron deficiency.


Which one doesn't follow the octet rule nh3 cf4 bcl3 ash3 hcl?

Boron trichloride does not follow the octet rule. Boron does not allow the eight required electrons in the outer shell.


Does AsH3 follow the octet rule?

No, AsH3 does not follow the octet rule. Arsenic, the central atom in AsH3, can expand its valence shell to hold more than eight electrons in bonding.


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 NH3 follow octect rule?

Of course it does obey.There are 8 electrons around Nitrogen.


Does H2S follow the octet rule?

H2S does follow the octet rule. When you draw the Lewis Structure for H2S, it looks like this: If you count up the lone pairs and sigma bonds (each worth 2), there are 8, thus, H2S follows the octet rule.


A molecule with bonding that follow the octet rule?

An example of a molecule that follows the octet rule is methane (CH4). In methane, carbon forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen, allowing each atom to achieve a full outer shell of electrons (octet) and satisfy the octet rule.


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.
