Question

what are the limitations of octet rule......??​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

I hope it helped..!!

Answer 2

Limitations of octet rule:

The incomplete octet of the central atom in some compounds, the number of electrons surrounding the central atom is less than eight.

This is especially the case with elements having less than four valence electrons.

Examples are LiCl, BeH2 and BCl3.

In a number of compounds of their period elements, there are more than eight valence electrons around the central atom.

This is termed as the expanded octet. The octet rule does not apply in such cases.

Examples of such compounds are SF6, H2SO4.

The rule is based on inert nature of noble gases.

However, some noble gases (for example xenon and krypton) combine with oxygen and fluorine to form a number of compounds like XeF2, KrF2, XeOF2 etc.
