Answer:
BF3
Explanation:
The octet rule describes atoms' preference and affinity for having eight (8) electrons in their valence shell. Whenever an atom is encircled by eight(8) electrons, it forms a stable configuration. This octet can be composed of its' own electrons as well as some shared electrons. In the periodic table, only the s-block and p-block electrons are considered for the octet rule.
However, out of the given option, only BF3 does not comply with the octet rule: This is because the Bromine contains 2 lone pairs of electrons and 3 other shared bonded pairs of electrons with Flourine making a total of 10 electrons in the valence shell and which does not conform with the octet rule.
