Good morning all, I am confused about the exceptions to the octet rule. Professor Lavelle brought up that P, S, and Cl can accommodate more than 8 valence e- since they are in period 3 or higher. So, is any atom in period 3 or higher theoretically eligible to have more than 8 valence electrons or are these three specifically the only atoms that ...
Instead of the octet rule, the electron configurations of these elements are much more flexible and vary depending on specific compounds and bonding scenarios. Like you said, this is because of the availability of d orbitals which can accommodate electrons beyond the 'typical 8' of the valence shell.

Question: Exceptions to the octet rule include... (Choose all that apply) central atoms with greater than 8 electrons. central atoms with fewer than 8 electrons. sulfur appearing as a terminal atom. fluorine serving as the central atom in a molecule. molecules with an odd number of electrons.
Re: Explanation to Octet Rule Exceptions Post by Gavin Trent 2F » Sun Oct 24, 2021 10:25 pm The first 4 elements (H, He, Li, Be) are exceptions to the octet rule because they have very few valence electrons, and are therefore highly unlikely to form an octet by gaining or losing electrons.
The octet rule has some exceptions because not all atoms have eight electrons surrounding them The octet rute has some exceptions because not all atoms have six electrons surrounding them The octet rule has some exceptions because not all atoms have ten electrons surrounding them There are no exceptions to the octet rule.
Identify the valence electrons for each atom in the compound to determine if any of them exceed or fall short of the octet rule. The correct option is = ICl4(-1) . Solution, The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds …
