Exceptions to the Octet Exceptions to the Octet RuleRule

1. Hydrogen and boron do not achieve an octet.2. Hydrogen accepts only 2 electrons.3. Boron accepts only 6 electrons4. Third row and larger elements can exceed the octet (examples: S & P)5. When we must exceed the octet, the extra electrons go on the central atom.

VSEPRVSEPR-Lewis structures tell us how the atoms are connected to each other. -They don’t tell us anything about shape. -VSEPR: Predicts 3D geometry of molecules.-Valence shell - outside electrons.

-Electron Pair repulsion - electron pairs try to get as far away as possible. Goal is to minimize electron pair repulsions.

-Based on the number of pairs of valence electrons both bonded and lone pairs.

VSEPRVSEPRRules

1. Draw the Lewis structure2. Count # of electrons on the central

atom (paired & lone)3. Multiple bonds count as one4. Using this # determine the

geometry and shape.
