One limitation of the octet rule is that it cannot be applied to the nonmetals after silicon in the Periodic Table. These elements can “expand their octet” and have more than eight valence electrons around the central atom. ... Molecules with an odd number of electrons such as NO and NO2 cannot satisfy the octet rule.
