What will be the example of an ionic compound in which BOTH OF ITS IONS do not obey Octet rule ?
Can I write LiH or can I write compounds like FeSo4 ,FeCl2 & NiSo4 .
Experts kindly help out please
Dear Student,
Some examples of Ionic compunds not following the Octet rule are PCl5, SF6 etc.
In the PCl5 molecule, the central phosphorus atom is bonded to five Cl atoms, thus having 10 bonding electrons and violating the octet rule.
In the SF6 molecule, the central Sulfur atom is bonded to six fluorine atoms, so sulfur has 12 bonding electrons around it and violating the octet rule.
You cannot write LiH because if follows the octet rule.
You can write compounds like FeCl2 as they violate octet rule.
