ANSWER:
Solution 60P
Some conditions are there which violate the octet rule they are :
Three cases can be constructed that do not follow the Octet Rule, and as such, they are known as the exceptions to the Octet Rule. Following the Octet Rule for Lewis Dot Structures leads to the most accurate depictions of stable molecular and atomic structures and because of this we always want to use the octet rule when drawing Lewis Dot Structures. However, it is hard to imagine that one rule could be followed by all molecules. There is always an exception, and in this case, three exceptions. The Octet Rule is violated in these three scenarios:
- When there are an odd number of valence electrons
- When there are too few valence electrons
