    Exceptions to the Octet Rule

    • Some elements can violate the octet rule in a Lewis structure, including Be, B, and P.
    • Dative bonds (also known as coordinate covalent bonds) do not necessarily follow the octet rule.
    • XeF2 is a molecule that violates the octet rule in its Lewis structure.
    • In a Lewis structure, 8 electrons are typically shown around each atom.
    • P, S, and Cl can exceed the octet rule in a Lewis structure, having more than 8 electrons.
    • A dashed line between two atoms in a Lewis structure represents a dative bond or coordinate covalent bond.
