Re: exapnded octet
Many elements are capable of forming an expanded octet, but sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and chlorine are some of the most common examples we see.

Re: exapnded octet
Hi Jonathan! All p-block elements in period three and beyond can have an expanded octet because of the unoccupied d-orbital (and f-orbitals).

Re: exapnded octet
Hi! All elements in the p-black that are in period 3 or higher can have an expanded octet, and the most common ones are sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and chlorine. Hope this helped :)

Re: exapnded octet
Expanded octets are formed because of the d/f block. So any elements that use these blocks could have an expanded octet I believe.

Re: exapnded octet
Because expanded octets are possible due to unfilled d and f orbitals, any element that is period 3 or above in p-block can have expanded octets.

Re: exapnded octet
Cl, S, P, and Si have expanded octets. Samantha and SImone Played for the Clippers is a way to memorize this.

Re: exapnded octet
The atoms that can have an expanded octet include P, S, Cl, As, Se, Br, Kr, I, and Xe. This is because they have d-orbitals in their valence shell that can accommodate additional electrons.

Re: exapnded octet
Hi, main group elements in the period three and below form compounds that deviate from the octet rule by having more than 8 valence electrons. Some common elements that form an expanded octet are sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and chlorine. Hope this helps!

Re: exapnded octet
anything in n=3 and below can have an expanded octet, but the general maximum is 12 valence electrons i believe
