Which situation would violate the octet rule?
3 bonds to boron
3 bonds to and a lone pair on oxygen
5 bonds to carbon
3 bonds to carbon

Explanation:

According to octet rule there should be 8 electrons in the atom's subshell/valence shell. Giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

among the options:

c) option is correct, as 5 bonds to carbon is violating the octet Rule, 5 bonds means 10 electrons exceeding the noble gas configuration and violets the octet rule.

All the other options are are incorrect, they are following

octet rule. Three bonds of carbon is possible in the case of carbocation.

i think it is true since you can test the answer and can use observations to complete it.
