No, CH4 follows the octet rule.
No, NH3 does not follow the octet rule. Nitrogen typically forms 3 bonds in NH3, instead of the expected 4 bonds to fulfill the octet rule.
Yes, both Cu+ and Cu2+ violate the octet rule. Copper (Cu) is an exception to the octet rule due to its electron configuration, which allows it to have a partially filled d orbital. This leads to Cu forming compounds where it does not achieve a full octet of electrons.
No, BeF2 does not obey the octet rule. Beryllium forms bonds using only two valence electrons instead of the eight needed to satisfy the octet rule. This is because beryllium is in the second period of the periodic table and can have an expanded valence shell.
Yes, PF5 is an exception to the Lewis octet rule. Phosphorus has 10 electrons around it in PF5, exceeding the octet rule. This is due to the availability of d-orbitals in the valence shell of phosphorus for accommodating extra electrons.
HCl doesn't follow the octet rule because hydrogen can only have 2 valence electrons and doesn't need a full octet to achieve a stable configuration.
No, NH3 does not follow the octet rule. Nitrogen typically forms 3 bonds in NH3, instead of the expected 4 bonds to fulfill the octet rule.
It is limit, stus
Yes, oxygen is an exception to the octet rule. Molecular oxygen can have two unpaired electrons making it a biradical molecule.
It is one of many, many exceptions to the octet rule. Hydrogen does NOT require 8 electrons.
Yes, both Cu+ and Cu2+ violate the octet rule. Copper (Cu) is an exception to the octet rule due to its electron configuration, which allows it to have a partially filled d orbital. This leads to Cu forming compounds where it does not achieve a full octet of electrons.

HCl doesn't follow the octet rule because hydrogen can only have 2 valence electrons and doesn't need a full octet to achieve a stable configuration.
No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.
PF5 obeys the octet rule as it has 5 bonding pairs of electrons around the central phosphorus atom, satisfying the octet. Cs2 does not follow the octet rule as Cs is in Group 1 and can only form ionic bonds. BBr3 is an exception to the octet rule as boron has only 6 electrons around it due to the empty d orbital. CO3 2- also obeys the octet rule as each oxygen atom has a complete octet.
Boron is an exception to the octet rule because it only has six electrons in its outer shell, so it can form stable compounds with fewer than eight electrons. This occurs because boron is in the second row of the periodic table and can form stable compounds by sharing fewer electrons.
Az important rule: any octet has to have eight parts, otherwise it is not an octet.
