pf6− does not obey the octet rule. draw its lewis structure and state the type of octet-rule exception. indicate the values of nonzero formal charges. be sure to include lone pair electrons on all atoms.

Respuesta :

Answer Octet rule.

Why PF6 Not obey octet rule?

--In the PF6– molecule P not follows the octet here,

--it expands its valency and violates the octet.

From the octet calculation, it requires 56 electrons but the valence electrons are 48, so the remaining 8 electrons are accumulated by 8/2 = 4 bonds, but here P makes six bonds which is a violation of octet.

What is formal charge ?

--To find formal charges in a Lewis structure, for each atom, you should count how many electrons it "owns".

--Count all of its lone pair electrons, and half of its bonding electrons.

--The difference between the atom's number of valence electrons and the number it owns is the formal charge.
