Question

The central atom in ___ violates the octet rule.SF4Cl2ClCNPF3H2CO

Answer 1

Answer:

$SF_4$

Explanation:

For the octet rule, we know that there should be 8 atoms around the central atom

For SF4, sulfur has 6 valence electrons. If we factor in one electron by each of the fluorine atoms, we would have a total of 10 electrons

In that case, the octet rule will no longer be obeyed
