Which of the following molecules does NOT obey octet rule?
- A \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\)
- B \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{O}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{BeF}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{BeF}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In \(\mathrm{BeF}_2, \mathrm{Be}\) has 4 electrons in its valence shell. Thus, it does not obey octet rule.
