For the atoms that do not follow the octet rule state how many electrons surround these atoms. express your answers as integers separated by commas. nnon n o, nbf3, nicl2−, nopbr3, nxef4 = nothing electrons

The octet rule isn't all its cracked up to be.  It works fine for some of the elements in the second period, but begins to come unglued for many others.

NNO does follow the octet rule, and has at least three resonance structures

N=N=O <−> N≡N−O <−> N−N≡O  

Formal charges suggest that the one in the middle is most likely.

NBF3 --  Really?  Show me, because I don't think there is such a compound.

NICl2^- or NICl^2- which is it?

NICl2 (neutral) is an analogue of NCl3 where iodine has replaced one chlorine.  It follows the octet rule.

Explanation:

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
