Explanation:

One limitation of the octet rule is that it cannot be applied to the nonmetals after silicon in the Periodic Table. ... Molecules with an odd number of electrons such as NO and NO2 cannot satisfy the octet rule. One atom must have an odd number of electrons. The N atom in NO has only 7 electrons in its valence shell.
