What elements can violate the octet rule?

Answer 1

It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell. It what happens when elements don't obey the octect rule, i.e. elements that have more than eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Answer 2

Elements with more than eight valence electrons (expanded octet) or less than eight valence electrons (incomplete octet) can violate the octet rule. Examples include elements in the third period or below in the Periodic Table such as phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine. Additionally, transition metals and elements with vacant d orbitals can also violate the octet rule.

Answer 3

Potentially elements above neon in the periodic table, as these have d orbitals and te hevier ones f orbitals . In practise exclude the group 1,2 elements. The "expansion" of the octet is common it is a rule but in inorganic chemistry all rules are made to be broken even this one. P.S don't forget Hydrogen that obeys the duet rule (Helium configuration)!

Answer 4

when the central atom has more than 8 electrons,it is octet rule violation

Answer 5

The octet rule is a chemistry rule or guideline. It is states that when an atom is low in atomic number it will behave a certain way. If it doesnÕt follow the rule then is a standard atom.
