I’m pretty sure the answer is D :)
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>
All the following are equal to Avogadro's number EXCEPT a. the number of atoms of bromine in 1 mol Br₂.
1 mol Br₂ contains Avogadro’s number of molecules of Br₂.
However, each molecule contains two atoms of Br, so there are
<em>2 × Avogadro’s number of Br atoms </em>in 1 mol Br₂.
The metalloids are mostly concentrated in groups 14, 15, and 16. (Some simpler charts will show them as 4A, 5A, and 6A - take a look at the top of the periodic table your class uses to double-check).
