Answer,
BF
Explanation,
does not follow the octet rule because the central boron atom is surrounded by 6 electrons. 3 electrons are of B atom and the remaining 3 electrons are of 3 F atoms. To satisfy the octet rule, 8 electrons are required.
Boron lacks an electron pair. Hence, it also acts as Lewis acid.
