What atoms dont always obey the octet rule?

Hydrogen does not obey the octet rule. Boron does not always obey the octet rule and in fact forms Lewis acids such as BF3 which only has 6 electrons.

How many covalent bonds are formed by tellurium?

The element tellurium would be expected to form 2covalent bonds in order to obey the octet rule.Te is a nonmetal in group 6A, and therefore has 6 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 2 electrons. It can do this by forming 2single covalent bonds.


Does ClF5 obey octet rule?

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