Which of the following compounds follows octet rule?
- A \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)
- B \(\mathrm{NO}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{SCl}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{SF}_6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{SCl}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{SF}_6\) molecules have an expanded octet, i.e., more than eight electrons around the central atom. \(\mathrm{NO}_2\) molecule has odd number of valence electrons. In \(\mathrm{SCl}_2\), sulphur attains noble gas configuration of 8 by forming two covalent bonds, thus obeying octet rule.
