Question

Example of super octet molecule is:

• A. $PC{l}_5$
• B. $S{F}_6$
• C. All of these
• D. $I{F}_7$

Answer 1

The correct option is C All of these

Super octet molecule

In super octet molecules, the valence shell of the central atom has more than $8$ electrons.

Analysing the options

Option (A):


In $S{F}_6$, the valence shell of the central sulphur atom has $12$ electrons.

Option (B):


In $PC{l}_5$, the valence shell of the central phosphorus atom has $10$ electrons.

Option (C):


In $I{F}_7$, the valence shell of the central iodine atom has $14$ electrons. Thus, all the given molecules have super octet.

So, option (d) is the correct answer.
