Answer:

Yes. Example: <u>Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) molecule</u>

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, elements tend to form chemical bonds in order to have <u>8 electrons in their valence shell</u> and gain the stable s²p⁶ electronic configuration.

However, this rule is generally followed by main group elements only.

Exception: <u>SF₆ molecule</u>

In this molecule, six fluorine atoms are attached to the central sulfur atom by single covalent bonds.

<u>Each fluorine atom has 8 electrons in their valence shells</u>. Thus, it <u>follows the octet rule.</u>

Whereas, there are <u>12 electrons around the central sulfur atom</u> in the SF₆ molecule. Therefore, <u>sulfur does not follow the octet rule.</u>

<u>Therefore, the SF₆ molecule is known as a </u><u>hypervalent molecule</u><u> or expanded-valence molecule.</u>
