Question

Which of the following is/are the example of a super octet molecule(s)?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

As We Know,
Super octet molecules are those in which the central atom has more than 8 valence electrons in their outermost shell. Variation of the octet rule is observed in these compounds.
Like in the case of $S{F}_6,S$ has 12 electrons in its valence shell as it forms 6 bonds with $F$ atoms.
Similarly, in the case of $PC{l}_5,P$ has 10 electrons in its valence shell as it forms 5 bonds with $Cl$ atoms.
Similarly, in the case of $I{F}_7,I$ has 14 electrons in its valence shell as it forms 7 bonds with $F$ atoms.
Hence, all these options are cases of super octet molecules.


Hence , option (d) is correct.
