exapnded octet

Which elements can have expanded octets?

[Gianna Greco 1G]

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

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).

[Alejandra Hernandez 2A]

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 :)

[Samidha Menon 1E]

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

[Jessica Sun 2I]

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.

[Nathalia Garibay 1D]

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

All elements in period 3 or above in the p-black can have an expanded octet.

[Ashley Wilson 2L]

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.

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!

[SheaZenker_3F]

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

[Jamie Lau 2J]

Hi, any element in period 3 or above in the p block can have an expanded octet

[Sydney Kim 3L]

What is the conceptual reasoning as to why a molecule can exceed an octet?
