Best Answer

Yes. Both O-F bonds are single covalent, so all three atoms can claim 8 electrons.

No, IF5 does not obey the octet rule. I has more than 8 valence electrons, so it has an expanded octet.

No, it is the extension of octet rule due to involvement of 'd' orbitals of Phosphorus.

Si has four valence electrons and fluorine has seven.

After forming four Si-F bonds, all atoms will get eight valence electrons and this compound follows the octet rule.

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 BeF2 obey the octet rule?

No it is not fully obeying the octet rule. Boron has only 6 electrons (3 own + 3 from each F atom), lacking two for the octet. Fluorine is 3x satisfied, each with 8 electrons (each has 7 own plus 1 from boron).

I know for sure BBr# & PF5 do not obey the octet rule, but i can't remember the rule of isotopes so I can't say for sure whether or not CO3 -2 obeys it or not.

Which of the atoms don't always obey the octet rule H O Br?

Chlorine Cl : it can have a higher valence (ClO2, HClO3) than predicted by the octet rule. Hydrogen H and oxygen O cannot escape the octet rule.


How do covalent compounds obey the octet rule?

No. Some molecules, such as boron triflouride (BF3) and phosphorus pendachloride (PCl5) are octect violators.
