Write any two drawbacks of the octet theory.​

Octet rule fails to explain the following:

(1) The stability of incomplete octet molecules, i.e., the molecules with the central atom containing less than eight electrons. (2) The stability of expanded octet molecules, i.e., the molecules with the central atom containing more than eight electrons.

Explanation:

(1) The stability of incomplete octet molecules, i.e., the molecules with the central atom containing less than eight electrons.

(2) The stability of expanded octet molecules, i.e., the molecules with the central atom containing more than eight electrons

chemists can use the electron cloud model to assign electrons to different atomic orbitals. atomic orbitals also explain the patterns in the periodic table

explanation:

the answer is a and have a great day
