Which one of the following does not follow octate rule?

Options

A $\mathrm{PF}_{3}$
B $\mathrm{BF}_{3}$
C $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$
D $\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$

Correct answer

B. $\mathrm{BF}_{3}$

Step-by-step solution

\mathrm{BF}_{3}

does not follow octate rule because central atom, boron lacks an electron pair. Thus, it also acts as Lewis acid. Which one of the following does not follow octate rule?
