To which of the following species the octet rule is followed?A BrF3 B C AlCl3 D

The octet rule states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Let's examine each of the given species:

A. BrF3 (Bromine Trifluoride): The central atom (Br) has more than eight electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, it does not follow the octet rule.

B. You didn't provide an option for B.

C. AlCl3 (Aluminum Chloride): The central atom (Al) has less than eight electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, it does not follow the octet rule.

D. You didn't provide an option for D.

So, based on the provided options, none of them follow the octet rule.
