Thee question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Which elements do not strictly follow the octet rule when they appear in the Lewis structure of a molecule?

Select one or more:

A: Chlorine

B: Carbon

C: Hydrogen

D: Sulfur

E: Fluorine

F: Oxygen

Answer:

chlorine

sulphur

Explanation:

The octet rule states that, for  atoms to be stable, they must have eight electrons on their outermost shells.

This rule is not strictly followed  by some elements such as sulphur and chlorine. The atoms of these elements can sometimes expand their octet by utilizing the d-orbitals found in the third principal energy level and beyond.

These leads to formation of compounds in which the central atom has more than eight electrons in its outermost shell.
