Answer:
Sulfur, phosphorus, silicon, and chlorine are common examples of elements that form an expanded octet. Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are examples of molecules that deviate from the octet rule by having more than 8 electrons around the central atom.

Answer:
The rule is applicable to the main- group elements, especially carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium and magnesium. Valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram. In carbon dioxide, for example, each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon.
