Explanation:

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 having an odd number of electrons like nitric oxide, NO and nitrogen dioxide, NO2, do not satisfy the octet rule for all the atoms. Elements in the third period of the periodic table and beyond have 3d orbitals, (apart from 3s and 3p orbital) available for bonding.
