Exceptions to the Ocetet
Hello, I'm a bit lost on the exceptions to the octet rule, and I was wondering if someone could just give me a general rule to know when an atom is exempt from the rule?

Re: Exceptions to the Ocetet
Hi! SO the exception to the octet rule are the nonmetals from period 3 and onwards (they can have expanded octets, and example being P Cl5), as well as Hydrogen (satisfied with one bond), and the group three elements which can only form 3 bonds. Hope this helps!
